<quote> In a record structured file EOR and EOF will each be indicated by a two-byte control code. The first byte of the control code will be all ones, the escape character. The second byte will have the low order bit on and zeros elsewhere for EOR and the second low order bit on for EOF; that is, the byte will have value 1 for EOR and value 2 for EOF. EOR and EOF may be indicated together on the last byte transmitted by turning both low order bits on (i.e., the value 3). If a byte of all ones was intended to be sent as data, it should be repeated in the second byte of the control code. </quote> Therefore 0xFF01 (first byte is "all ones") and second byte has the low order bin on and zeros elsewhere is an EOR. Likewise for EOF and EOR+EOF codes. <snip> > Thanks, > gil > -- -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
