SAP FTP Binary Does not work after EHP 7 Upgrade

Hi All,

Since EHP 7, if I try to execute an external command through sm49, which has a shell script for ftp connection and fetching files, the 'binary' command after ftp connection is not working.

Result? I'm fetching corrupted files once in a while. The same was fine before the upgrade. The script runs fine at OS level. We are using AIX.

Did anyone see this issue before? Is there a solution?

Please help, it's quite urgent.

Thank you.

Uday
