FTP from MVS to ASCII server without CRLF

[Gilbert Saint-Flour]

Hello:

My customer has a requirement to send MVS data sets to an ASCII
environment without CRLF. I haven't found an option in the z/OS FTP
client to prevent it from generating a CRLF sequence when it converts
records from EBCDIC to ASCII. The FTP client in VSE allows it via the
LOCSITE CRLF OFF command. Is there an equivalent in the MVS world?
Thank you for your help.

Gilbert,

The function your customer wants is introduced in z/OS 1.7. This is from
z/OS V1R7.0 Comm Server: New Function Summary:

"z/OS V1R7 Communications Server adds the capability to specify an alternate
end of line (EoL) sequence for outbound ASCII file transfers. The default
EoL sequence is a carriage return followed by line feed (<crlf>) as
specified by RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol. ... You can configure the EoL
sequence with FTP.DATA statements SBSENDEOL and MBSENDEOL, and with site and
locsite subcommand parameters SBSENDEOL and MBSENDEOL. Supported values
for SBSENDEOL and MBSENDEOL are CRLF (carriage return followed by line feed,
the default and RFC 959 standard), CR (carriage return only), LF (line feed
only), and NONE (no line terminator)."

An ascii transfer with SITE SBSENDEOL=NONE will do the EBCDIC-to-ASCII
translation without adding the <CRLF>s.

I looked for this functionality in Z/os 1.4, and couldn't find it. It
used to be present in the older TCPIP V3.2, with a
NOCRLF as part of the LOCsi command
