Subject: FTP of fixed file off the mainframe
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.
