And if appropriate, you can make the sbdataconn value shown above the FTP default for your installation in TCPPARMS. When I last checked, the default FTP translation table not only handled some characters "incorrectly" for us, but was not even a one-to-one mapping for 8-bit characters, so that FTP transmission of 8-bit text to z/OS and then back to the original non-EBCDIC system could result in changed characters from the original.
In some cases you might want to specify the code set IBM-1047 rather than IBM-037. There are unfortunately [at least] two conflicting EBCDIC-based code sets in common use on z/OS: IBM-037 for applications from the 3270 tradition, IBM-1047 for applications from the C Language or UNIX tradition, mainly differing in code points for brackets, caret, and not sign.
