I have a file in the IFS.  When I look at it via 5250 emulation I see data like

[27813:00002-00000227] 05/17/2026 07:52:34   Releasing unused storage in database QUALITY13/Solution/Material.nsf..

When I look at it using iACS' Integrated File System I see data like

¤--–™£K•¢†@`@ƒ–•£�‰•…™@‚¤††…™@-––"@òöö@¢-�•@~@òòøùøõ÷%ºò÷øñózððððò`ðððððòò÷»@ðõañ÷aòðòö@ð÷zõòzóô@@@Ù…"…�¢‰•‡@¤•¤¢…„@¢£–™�‡…@‰•@„�£�‚�¢…@ØäÁÓÉãèñóaâ–"¤£‰–•aÔ�£…™‰�"K•¢†KKK@%

When I download it in ASCII using ftp I get

[27813:00002-00000227] 05/17/2026 07:52:34   Releasing unused storage in database QUALITY13/Solution/Material.nsf... 

Yes, the file has:  Coded character set ID . . . . . . . . :   37, and maybe that ain't right.  But, instead of changing all of the files in this application, and risk having to do it every time it creates new ones, is there some property I can set on iACS to read these files correctly?  I'm thinking along the lines of the setting in File Transfer "Convert CCSID 65535".

In ACS Integrated File System browser, I use "View..." (not "View") in the contextual menu for a text file (right click), then "View as UTF-8 text file".

Also available with the "Download..." (not "Download") action.
