John,
It's not clear to me if the troublesome sequence numbers are in the transmitted
data records or in the FTP DD=INPUT records. More frequently, it is the latter
case that causes problems. If this is also your situation, you may be able to
fix your problem and keep NUM/PACK.
One of the parameters that may be specified in the FTP.DATA (for the client) is
SEQNUMSUPPORT TRUE
The default is "SEQNUMSUPPORT FALSE." When this parameter is set to true, the
FTP client ignores sequence numbers.
Regards,
Alan
P.S. I like to use ISPF sequence numbering because it embeds the modification
level in columns 79 and 80. This makes it easier to track the changes that have
been made to members for each incarnation. Just my personal preference.

Subject: TSO Profile NUM and PACK
We had some difficulties with a critical FTP transmission over this past
weekend caused by the 00000000 in card columns 73-80.
Our Application Business Manager has posed two questions:
Can you share with me any compelling reasons for the NUM ON and PACK ON?
If no compelling reasons, what can be done to make NUM OFF and PACK OFF as the
default in any programmer's profile?
Do we have a global setting that we might invoke?
Thankyou
