Thanks, but I don't think that would work here. I think I have a solution. I looked at the file and it looks like it has a fixed record length of 224. I used LOCSITE LRECL=225 WRAP The file is allocated with an LRECL of 224 (224 for the data and an extra byte for the LF character). WRAP tells the ftp client to go to a new line instead of truncating the data.
Obviously, this will only work if the file has fixed length records.
