We have 2 CVs that can be started at R19 on z/OS but none of them has any application data yet. We are now trying to get a part of the application data through a different FTP configuration and it fails.
Probably due to the files getting not being transferred correctly via FTP. Below is an excerpt from the JOB output.
Here is a sample of the error messages and how the dataset names look in the Job Output:

Probably due to the files getting not being transferred correctly via FTP.
We did a BINARY transfer from VSE FTP to z/OS.
You can see that the segment and area names are readable (i.e. the file was sent in binary mode – EBCDIC to EBCDIC).
Here it is in hex:

There was no problem with the FTP transfer, but rather the newly-created Database files just had not been formatted first.
When Restoring BY AREA the database Area/files must be formatted.
When you issue a FORMAT command against a database file, IDMS/DB establishes space management pages (SMPs) for the area(s) that map to the file, initializes the space management entry for each database page, establishes a header and footer on each database page and sets all data portions of database pages to binary zeros
After formatting the files first the RESTORE from BACKUP to the newly-created database files was successful
