User response

Diagnosing the problem
  1. Left-click the destination data set. Look at the Property view (the two-column table with headings Property and Value). Expand the Mapping property. You must see Transfer Binary in both the source data set and the destination data set.
  2. This feature requires the client and server to be at least at version 8.0.1.
Solving the problem
If the destination data set is Transfer Text, change it to Transfer Binary by doing one of the following:
  • For a single file:
    1. Right-click the destination data file and click Properties.
    2. Click Mapping.
    3. Click the Other radio button beneath Transfer mode, click binary, and then click OK.
  • For all files with a particular low-level qualifier:
    1. Click Window > Show View > z/OS file System Mapping. The view opens near the bottom of the workspace window.
    2. Right-click in the view and click Add data set mapping.
    3. Type a pattern in the Mapping Criterion field, for example, **LOADMOD. This mapping will apply to all future data sets with that low level qualifier.
    4. Click the Other radio button beneath the Transfer mode, click binary, and then click OK.
