<div><p>Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you cannot convert special
numeric formats like packed decimal or zoned decimal.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The transfer of packed decimal or zoned decimal data is supported
between iSeries™ servers
when you use either a transfer type of TYPE I (BINARY) or TYPE E (EBCDIC)
with a transmission mode of BLOCK; these transfer types send the data as is
without any conversion. The results of any other transfer type are unpredictable.</p>
<p>When
transferring packed or zoned data in an externally-described QSYS.LIB file,
the target file should be pre-created in the same manner as the source file.
This restriction applies to data containing any special numeric format or
when keyed access is required.</p>
<p>When transferring data with a transfer
type of binary, the record length of the target file must be the same as the
record length of the source file.</p>
<p>Before packed decimal or zoned decimal
data can be transferred to or from other system architectures (such as S/390<sup>®</sup> or UNIX<sup>®</sup>),
you must convert the data to printable form.</p>
