Rohit,

Send it as a text file and see if it works.

Which utility are you using to FTP the file ? (DOS FTP / Emulation build-in / JCL / WS-FTP / Explorer FTP etc...)

Hello tomehta,

A text file of ASCII data type contains displayable characters; a carriage return (X'0D') and line feed (X'0A') are used to delimit a line. A text file of EBCDIC data type contains displayable characters; the new-line character (X'15') is used to delimit a line.

A binary file contains a contiguous stream of bits with no line delimiters.

Thats why you are not able to see the records the way you want to see (in multiple lines)

So to eliminate this, send the file as a TEXT file as told by kolusu.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Mayuresh Tendulkar

Hi All,

Follow-up question on this. I want to FTP TXT file to another file in binary format through JCL.

But using FTP shows your User-ID and Password (see sample below). Is there other way to accomplish this ? Withou reflecting user-ID and password ?

Sample FTP JCL.
