Files are losing characters when transferring to XCOM for AIX

Issue/Introduction

Sending a .csv file from XCOM for Windows to XCOM for AIX and it keeps changing the characters. Whether the transfer specified Binary or ASCII, it still changes the characters 

Anything with a ' mark is changed it to a #.

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for Windows
XCOM™ Data Transport® for UNIX/Linux PC

Cause

The file was being viewed with a different code page than the one that created the file and this caused a character to be displayed differently after it was transferred.

Resolution

Use the same code page on UNIX as on Windows. This was resolved by using UT8 to create the file.
