While my shorter test case certainly contained characters in that bunch, I doubt that was the cause of the FTP error, since Bill Godfrey's suggestion to add a trailing NL removed the error. My longer test case failed even with a trailing NL while containing no code points absent from the shorter. FTP may be WAD; I'd say BAD. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
