I have another problem..
The file which i am trying to FTP from Unix to Host is having a problem with structure.

Original file
=======
!..Ly

Since you're receving the file in binary mode to a rather large dataset, I'm not sure what you expect it to look like. If you could post both files as they appear in hexadecimal, I think you'd see that there's really no difference content-wise.

[anaik]

The original variable file the contents are as below

LINE1
LINE2
LINE3

the variable file which is created after FTPing on the host is

LINE1LINE2LINE3

does it help in understnading my query

[anaik]

any help guys

anaik,

you are missing CRLF in the input file. Create the file with CRLF and then FTP the dataset.

That still will not do it, as far as I know. The reason is that binary transfers do not respect crlf (or actually, Unix only uses one of those, cr or lf, I forget which one), since there is no such thing in the MVS file system. Maybe if you FTP the file to the Unix side of MVS and then use cp or OCOPY to move the file to the MVS file system you will get what you want, but even then I'm not sure.

If you have line input then it is not a binary file, surely? so should not be sent as a binary file
