AW: Transferring Source Files between iSeries using FTPAPI

["Werner Noll, GEFIS" <werner.noll@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

according to Scott's advice, I turned FTP_Binary to *OFF (I thought that
*OFF is always the default).
Afterwards, the FTP transmission of the source member was performed without
error,
BUT some characters were not translated correctly. German "Umlaute" (e.g. ä,
ö, ü) and field names starting with § caused colored source lines in SEU.
Both systems have identical CCSID (273).

Now I'll try Mike Krebs' suggestion and do a work around the error, when
using binary *ON.
I'll keep you informed.
Regards,

I'm not sure that I understand your objection to using ASCII mode.  Are 
you having trouble with characters being mistranslated?

Just put ftp_binary(*OFF) and see if that works.
