Hello All, and welcome to Monday,

I'm having some trouble with an FTP transfer to a VMS system (at least
FTP reports that, "Remote system type is VMS").

I'm trying to send a 180 byte fixed ASCII file that the remote site
would like to receive as a 180 byte fixed EBCDIC file. I fcopied my file
to convert it to EBCDIC, and specified bin in my FTP to send it binary.
What they claim to be receiving is a variable record file that is not
EBCDIC.

What am I missing???

Thanks in advance,

Paul "Who know FTP could be so hard?" Scott
