Why do you want to convert it first and than transfer it? If you
transfer the file via FTP in ASCII-Mode, the file is
converted and CRLF
is appended to each record.

I guess that I should have said why I am looking at this. We have an ftp
which fails consistently. Absolutely 100% reproducible. At the request
of the Windows server people, I transferred the same file to the same,
failing, server using BINARY mode. The file transfer succeeded. I
immediately tried doing the exact same file to the same server using
ASCII mode and it failed again. So, the next thing that the Windows
people are likely to say will be: "Since the BINARY transfer succeeded
and the ASCII one failed, the problem __must__ be with z/OS doing an
ASCII transfer! Why don't you just convert the file to ASCII on your
side, then do a BINARY ftp of the already converted file?"
As we all know, z/OS is always the problem in a case such as this. This
despite the following facts:
1) I can do the exact same transfer to another Windows ftp server just
fine, consistently;
2) I can do the exact same transfer to a Linux server just fine;
3) I cannot transfer the same file from my desktop to the "failing"
server (Windows desktop to Windows server); and
4) I cannot transfer the file from the "successful" Windows server to
the "failing" Windows server (Windows server to Windows server).
In case 3, I got the file to my desktop via ftp. When I then tried to
ftp to the failing server, it failed. Oh, I also forgot to mention that
I can ftp smaller files. The file being transferred is around 9 gig in
size.
