I have read in the IBM TCP/IP reference manual and in some other books that packed fields are not supported using FTP on the AS/400. However, in some of our initial FTP tests with our clients who have mainframes, packed fields came and went across just fine. What gives? We are on V3R2. Thanks-

FTP and packed fields
Jim, I think your lack of a problem with transferring packed fields via FTP is because both source and target machines are EBDIC. Different case when trying to translate to/from ASCII.Regards. Jack McGuigan - MIS Manager - American Life Ins. Co.Comment
