We use the program IKJEFT01 with PARM='%FTPREX2' for FTPing the file.
Can someone please please help us in finding out what translation table is being used to convert the EBCDIC to ASCII while we FTP

You may need to install the entire bos.iconv group of filesets. Those have all the OS conversion tables contained within.

On the base OS CD's there are filesets that start with bos.iconv. Install all of these and your file conversions may work properly. I have no idea if it will fix your problem but it is worth a shot.
