We are z/OS 2.1 and our customer is z/OS 1.11.  Below is the 
description of our situation.

We are receiving customer VSAM data sets that have been dumped 
by DF/DSS (dump by data set), the DF/DSS dump data set is tersed, and then
SFTP'ed (binary mode) to our SFTP server.  When I reverse the process,
and look at the restored VSAM data sets, the key field is correct, but the
data portion is garbled.  The customer knows that the Datapacker product
for the IMS is in use, but doesn't know if that is true for VSAM data sets.

I've asked the customer to provide me with an IDCAMS PRINT DUMP
of the first 50 records.  The keys in the customer's IDCAMS PRINT
match the keys as displayed by IBM's File Manager Data Set View
function and an IDCAMS PRINT DUMP on our system.

Is the lack of Datapacker for VSAM, on our system, a possible reason for this?
