To all,
I was missing a line that said "Binary" before the get in the FTP
commands.
Now it works,
Thanks,

The file you've received is THCTX1.DATA, not THFILE.DATA, so in this
step (which I presume is some form of an FCOPY command) what happened to
THCTX1 in the interim?

> FROM=THFILE.DATA;TO=THEFILE2;EBCDICIN=(41:812;818:829;860:936) [...]
[...]
> F T P   C O M M A N D S
> !FTP
>       get MSXFSE.txt THFILE.DATA;REC=-936,,F,BINARY

In this case, however, you are receiving the raw file as THFILE.DATA
and processing it straight away:

> FROM=THFILE.DATA;TO=THFILE2;EBCDICIN=(41:812;818:829;860:936)[...]

so if there was "something" that changed THCTX1 into THFILE, then
you've skipped that in the FTP version...
