PM91717: FTP LOGIC INCONSISTENCY FOR MBCS CONVERSION

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• FTP client's PUT logic in determining if MBCS conversion will be
  done or not needs to be corrected to match with the FTP server's
  RETRIEVE logic.
  

Local fix

• Use FTP server's code to do MBCS conversion.  That is, set up an
  FTP server on the system where the file to be read resides.
  Then do a GET on that file from a client system.
