File transfer
When using FTP to transfer a file from IBM iSeries family of servers client to a non IBM Iseries family server, files might have characters appear in the wrong format

Eg | in Iseries and while transferring fro Iseries system to Linux , but instead of | it is showing as ?.

Please advise

Hi Sudhainit,

This is likely to be down to a Character Set mismatch - I'd start by havin a look here. You'll have to identify the set on each system probably and may have to "translate" at one end or the other.

Alternatively you may just be able to reset the character set if you are lucky.

The File Data having ¦ symbol and I transfer the file from Iseries to Linux, but it is appearing as | in Linux system.

Also other file contains | and I transfer the file from Iseries to Linux, but in Linux it is appearing as ?

This is happening due to file transfer using XCOM utility .

Do I need to change any CCSID from Iseries

This is because They are actually different symbols. ¦ does not appear in Linux as |. If you need it changed you'll need to change or translate it yourself.

What character set is the original document?
