What options are needed to process (read, write) EBCDIC data on Windows and keep the data in EBCDIC format? We have a need to download data from a mainframe and process it in SAS on windows while keeping it in EBCDIC format so it can be returned to the mainframe for additional processing. I’ve tried several variations in a little test pgm and always come back with the error in the log (below). What am I missing ??? Note: we FTP the file using a BINARY transfer along with the options RECFM=F LRECL=80.
