    You should find out what charset your mainframe supports and create the files in that same charset. Also, you could try alternating the transfer mode between binary and ascii mode, but that is probably not actually causing this particular problem.

    Mainframe?... you mean the big computers with incredible i/o speeds?

    Are you switching to "ascii" mode which is for translating text between the differnt charsets on both ends?
