On z/OS EBCDIC, x'05' is a tab character, equivalent in my experience with x'09' ASCII. Each line on the UNIX machine should be terminated with a single LF or 0x0a. If is it, then an ASCII upload to the mainframe should work. It certainly does for me. Your UNIX people might want to do an "od" command to view their file to be sure that each line is delimited by 0x0a (aka \n). -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
