Hello Christian and Jeremy, Thanks very much, indeed in my IDE (IDEA) it was printing:
PID|||123456||Doe^John But when ran from a standard shell it printed: PID|||123456||Doe^Johnstem||||200701011539||ADT^A01^ADT A01||||123 And of course at the hint replacing \r in java or piping it to tr '\r' '\n' in shell gave me the output I was expecting. Thanks again, I'm sure I would have never realized that on my own! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
