Mark, Tony, Dana, Brian, Thanks very much for your responses, they were of great help.
I am now pretty much convinced that EBCDIC to ASCII conversion during the FTP transfer had caused the problem. Still am not sure the AMATERSE error should have been AMA574I; I'd prefer "AN EXPECTED END OF RECORD WAS NOT FOUND, INPUT DATA INVALID", but that's just me :) Best Regards, Yifat Oren. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
