Encoding Problem while using "|" (PIPE) as delimiter from Mainframe to Unix
We are facing a problem with PIPE (|) as a delimiter in one of our FTP flat files.
- We are constructing a Flat file in IBM-AIX and this contains various strings delimted by PIPE Symbol and then FTPing this to a Mainframe System
- The Mainframe program simply recieves this and FTPs the same (with our any manipulations) to another IBM-AIX machine
- As soon as the File is recieved on the third system, all the delimiters (|s) are being replaced by "M-3"
Earlier we used comma (,) as the delimiter and never faced such an issue. Now we have changed it to PIPE and are in this situation.
Is there anything to do specifically with PIPE when transferring files between Mainframe & UNIX?
Is there any work around for this without changing the delimiter symbol from PIPE to some another?
