I am FTPing a fixed record length file from the mainframe to a Unix box where a vendor has access to pick up that file and FTP it to his machine. I don't know what kind of machine he has, but he's saying that he's missing my space fill for the shorter records.
The first thing I verified is that the file does, in fact, have spaces, not low values on the mainframe. Then I tried to find out what the file looks like on the Unix machine. I opened it from my PC using Ultra-Edit, which asked if I wanted to convert it to DOS format. I haven't figured out what this means, so I opened it both ways. Pressing the end key, I go to the last non-blank character in a record, but I have no idea whether that is the last character or not. I'm trying to find out whether the spaces got truncated in my FTP or whether it happened later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
