Re: v7r5 writing sftp get files different ccsid

Jim,

Correct, there was change in the PASE default as of 7.4, here's a link 
to the memo to users:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=system-default-pase-ccsid-locale-changed-utf-8

I would strongly recommend updating your programs.  While you may be 
able to restore the previous behavior via environment variables, this is 
frankly not a good solution.  Get with the times and use unicode instead 
of ASCII.  It is a small change, and it's 2023 for crying out loud..
