in by a user to test letters sent to customers. In this case he happened to
use a quited string followed by a partial ellipses (two periods).
FTP info follows. I also just noticed that the MVS file is FBA but the .. is
no where near column 1.
using Mode Stream, Structure File, type ASCII, byte-size 8
ASA control characters in ASA files opened for text processing
will be transferred as ASA control characters.
ENcoding is set to SBCS
Outbound SBCS ASCII data uses CRLF line terminator
Outbound MBCS ASCII data uses CRLF line terminator
