    Hi *,

    I have a user that is trying to get a file ftp'd from AIX to MVS. The file
    contains both ASCII and comp-3 numeric fields in it.

    If we go ASC mode, the ASCII data is transferred OK, but the comp-3 data is
    garbage. If we go BIN mode, the ASCII data is garbage, but the comp-3 data
    is garbage.

    Anyone know a fix for this ? We've tried some dd commands and even changed
    the transfer mode on the MVS side via 'quote' commands - but we're no
    closer.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bill.
