>From what little that I know of the sftp command, as implemented on UNIX and Windows, is that it does the equivalent of a BINARY transfer. What is the "new line" character you mentioned, in hex? I hope that is it 0x0A. If so, then doing an ASCII ftp from z/Linux to z/OS should result in a normal file. I ftp'ed from my Linux/Intel box to both a z/OS sequential dataset and a z/OS UNIX (HFS) file. Both were OK. If it ends in something else, then I'd determine what character it is on your z/Linux box and translate it to 0x0a (using the tr command) before ftp'ing it to z/OS. AIX should end its lines in LF (0x0a), not CR (0x0d). Windows ends lines with CRLF (0x0d0a) -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
