Re: FTPAPI - Translation issue.

Hello,

Did you ever get an answer to this?  I don't see that I responded.

FTPAPI sets the TYPE to ASCII or IMAGE automatically when it begins a 
file transfer.  I suspect that the TYPE C you're presetting with the 
quote command is getting replaced by FTPAPI's TYPE A command.

The CRTCCSID might work, though...   but what confuses me is that 
CRTCCSID is supposed to be for database (not stream) files.

You say that default CCSID on the server is 37...  are you talking about 
the system QCCSID value?  It seems VERY unlikely that the FTP default 
(set with CHGFTPA CCSID(xxx)) is actually 37. IMHO, that's not a 
reasonable default for FTPing to the IFS.

Perhaps a simpler solution is to just upload the file in binary mode, 
and then use CHGATR to set the proper CCSID?
