That sequence won't work, when you upload it the the PC the blocks will be messed up. DFDSS (and FDR) both use special blocking that gets broken if you don't handle it correctly.
If you need to go to the PC, then you should terse it or use AWStape as previously offered. If you can go directly to z/OS either under hercules or z/pdt from the mainframe z/OS, then you can use the TYPE and MODE commands I offered. Those are the only ways that I am sure will work, there are likely others, but regular FTP even in binary mode won't suffice if the PC (windows or linux or chrome) is the recipient. You can find a good discussion of this "problem" on the Hercules forum, and I think there are some other odd ideas that may or may not work, but it will also explain exactly why plain old FTP won't work if you are going to the PC for intermediate storage.
