You do not want your savefiles to be processed through a TEXT conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII nor the reverse.

As with copying savefiles as streamfiles, it’s best to reference them with a .SAVF extension. If you use NAMEFMT 1, your AS/400 will recognize the extension and can provide some help. In particular, if you say PUT MYSAVF.SAVF in a Windows FTP, then the FTP server on your AS/400 can automatically create the savefile for you named MYSAVF; it’s not necessary for you to create a savefile ahead of time if the extension is .SAVF and you’re running under NAMEFMT 1.
