This thread is not going somewhere. You got many excellent and worthwhile suggestions. Seemed, you have a hard to chew thing... Let us begin at the start: I (ok, ok, ok, IBM-MAIN) need this: 1. Full JCL and FTP statements of BOTH FTP processes. Alternatively, get the FTP statements from both third parties. All of them plus any messages. [1] 2. We need the full DCB attributes of BOTH datasets (LRECL=336 and LRECL=338) 3. We need say the first FULL 5 lines of EACH files / datasets (I said files or dataset because one of your posts shows an empty dataset) If you can't do above, just try to have two different datasets (with different names) where each has its own LRECL. And start over the whole transfer thing. Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - I believe the FTP with the second file could generates error messages changing the layout of the records... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
