I am using a java library (edtftpj) to FTP a file from a web app hosted of a tomcat server to an MVS system.The FTP transfer mode is ASCII and transfer is done using FTP streams. The data from a String variable is stored into an MVS dataset. The problem is all the ampersand characters get converted to \[code\]&\[/code\] . I have tried various escape characters including \& , ^& and X'50' (hex value), but none of it helped.Anyone has any idea how to escape the ampersands please?
