Yup. Works. (If they can customize it that much, why
can't they make it work from 3270 OMVS? Or at least
as long as there's no prompting needed?)

"option", not "subcommand". Does that mean it's like a setup
or PARMLIB option, and can't be controlled by end user?
I stumbled (GIYF) upon a mention that some sftp software has
an ASCII-like option. But that does UNIX<-->DOS newline conversion.
I suppose its network protocol uses network newline conventions
('0d0a'x). I see that z/OS sftp ASCII generates '0a'x. Good riddance,
DOS.
I wonder what PuTTY's PSFTP does?
Thanks,
