First, my short list for unexpected/undesired translations is: Windows. IIRC, the only way to prevent this is to use the binary (image) FTP command -and- suffix the file .BIN.
I do seem to recall a FTP option on some flavors of *nix that causes z/os to run the data all together. Some digging in the archives might be useful if you suspect that. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CRLF in Unix being translated on Mainframe to x'25' A programmer I am working with is getting a file from Unix which will be sent to the mainframe. This will be using FTP. The process is we receive the file from the Unix system and it is placed on a Windows 2008 server. Then from the Windows 2008 it is going to be FTP'd to the mainframe. Is there a way to keep the CRLF command at the end of each line? And will the mainframe recognize it as a newline? What we really want is the UNIX file to be individual (FB Lrecl 946) going into the mainframe. It seems the Unix CRLF is x'0A' whereas the mainframe is x'25' Thanks for any advice Lizette ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
