The first question I would like to ask with such tasks - just to make sure:
are there any binary parts in the source EBCDIC files, like packed
decimal or binary numeric data,
or is it just plain EBCDIC text - with maybe zoned decimal digits (X'f0'
to x'f9')?
if there are binary parts, you are lost ...
you must first encode the z/OS files so that all the binary parts are
translated to readable text
BEFORE you even try to transfer them to the ASCII platform. Otherwise,
you can do only binary FTP
and then you have to do the translation of the text parts later on the
ASCII platform ... and you will
have the problems with endianness and so on (and there is no easy way to
work with packed decimal data
on most ASCII platforms).
HTH,
kind regards

Looking for expert's opinions/solutions here.
Trying to FTP large file from zOS2.5 to Windows server using FTP protocol but
it's taking more time, trying to compress file on zOS (TRSMAIN) then ftping,
its quick but at destination (Windows) it's not readable after Unterse.
On zOS, its EBCDIC file, is there any solution first convert to ASCII then
Terse send?
Or any tools that can help on windows system to convert data from EBCDIC to
ASCII after Unterse?
Appreciate your input.
Thanks,
BM
