Listen to Peter. :) Ok, if you are using a batch job on z/OS, then you are the client for that transfer. If the file on Windows has the CRLF (that is Notepad works), then a ASCII/EBCIDIC transfer to a FB or VB file with a large enough LRECL should work. You can use the LOCSITE to subcommand to control this.
Which end is the client on the Unix to Windows? You need to make sure the NL to CRLF "translation" occurs. We use MoveITFreely for Windows command files. I think it handles this automatically, but it is other people that set that end up around here.
