Tried that, got CPD322D:
   "Explicitly specified CCSIDs or file restrictions present."
Don't know how "explicit" applies here, unless it's FTP "under the covers".

after the application is done reading it.  I'm basically extracting data
from the downloaded file, and storing the extractions in my own SQL-defined
table.
