The file is just an ASCII txt file - instead of having new line at the end of each record it has a x'05'.

I have a customer you is trying to ftp a file from a Unix machine down to the mainframe. The FTP is executing on the mainframe and is receiving the file. The file is delimited by x'05'. The FTP does not recognize this and the file comes across and is strung together. Is there a way to specify a delimiter or is there a better why to handle this type of file. What "type of file"? Does it help to know that x'05' is an EBCDIC TAB, the equivalent of ASCII x'09'? This might appear as a delimiter in a .csv exported spreadsheet. Otherwise, in what sense and context do you mean "is delimited by x'05'"? We need more information. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ******* CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ******* This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee.
