Liz: For NOTEPAD++, which I also use, you will need to make sure that the file that arrives into Windows has the x'0D0A' , as Shmuel said its the CRLF characters. From Windows to the Host(z/OS) you could go binary for sure. I would verify that the data arrives in Windows ok, before doing the next hope to z/OS. If the politics would allow it ( i dont miss this ) then a Unix -> z/OS would be desirable and a heck of a lot easier.

It must be done this way, Unix, to Win2008, to Mainframe. No options here. I have tried several tests. Either I only get one record up on the mainframe or the data is definately in bin format when it arrives. I have tried BIN FB, BIN VB, ASCII FB and ASCII VB. So far the 44 records I have to test with are just not behavingin. The odd thing is that NOTEPAD cannot read this file well. It wraps it (yes tried the WRAP FORMAT in Notepad no luck). So I can see the records circle around in the notepad window. However, Notepad++ sees it as individual records. Still plugging along. I am trying the cmd prompt from my desktop to the mainframe. However, it is possible that this file will be brought up via a batch job on the mainframe. I am trying that now.
