Hi All,
I am FTP'ing a file from mainframes to datastage(v8.5) server(linux) which have some special characters in it.
'[' in mainframe file, when FTP'ed are translating to '->' . Have anyone faced any issue with FTP'ing special characters?
In my mainframe file the ebcdic value for '[' is defined as 'BA' , but usually it should be '4A' in order to FTP it as '[' with out any translations.
Do we have to introduce any parameter in FTP stage(Enterprise) to not translate,instead FTP as it is?
i tried using FTP Plug-in stage, FTP'ing file in binary format and changing NLS to IBM1047, but nothing worked out.
Could someone please throw some light on this?
Thanks in advance,
Aditya.

Re: FTP Special Characters from Mainframes to Linux
Found the solution. I figured out that the EBCDIC values using on mainframes is of IBM037. I used IBM037 as NLS in datastage FTP stage and Used UNICODE. Sequential file NLS setting is ISO8859-1. All charecters are FTP'ed as is.
Thanks.
Thanks.
