What are the original and final character sets?

Do you mean that the original file has CRLF rather than LF? Also, CRLF
isn't a command just a CR character followed by an LF character. The
easiest way is to use binary mode.
>It seems the Unix CRLF is x'0A' whereas the mainframe is x'25'
No; the Unix new line indication is LF (X'0A'), the windoze/DOS new
line indication is CRLF (X'0D0A') and the z/OS new line indication for
EBCDIC is NEL (X'25'). The LF and NEL represent new line, which is
logically distinct from CRLF.
BTW, do local politics allow going directly to z/OS instead of
therough the W2008 box?
