I am trying to FTP a file from windows server to Mainframe. The FTP is successful, but there is a problem with the contents of the FTPed file. It doesn’t retain the Capital Letters – DAY changed to Day…BEEN changed to Been.
The earlier tool I used to FTP file used a FORMAT(PRINT UC) command to take care of this. I want to know what is the corresponding syntax in FTP to retain the CAPS ON/OFF while FTPing.
I did research over Google to find the FTP replacement for Format (Print UC) and got the following syntax, but it didn’t work.
SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=TRADITIONAL

After connecting to the mainframe you might issue a "quote help" command (instead of simply "help") to see if there are options listed on the remote machine that are available that you are not taking advantage of. Frankly, the symptoms you describe seem more relevant to actions that a text editor might display than something that FTP would be doing. Perhaps your viewer is manipulating the text via preset profile options AFTER the file has transmitted? That's just a guess.
