Error description
After migration from PCOM 5.6 on Windows 2000 or XP to PCOM 6.0.4 on Windows 7 when they transfer a file with TSO command IND$FILE from Host to Windows 7, if the file name contains a national character, it is "upper cased" and causes the file transfer to fail due to invalid data set name.

The problem was reported using French host code pages, but may affect any other Western European Latin-1 code pages. The error is caused by the uppercase logic in PCSXFER.DLL.
