Hi,

On getting a bunch of Solutions downloaded from the CA site for a product, the 
subsequent uploads to mainframe fail because the .txt files go on for more than 
80 cols.
This is super annoying as I'm looking to upload hundreds of PTF HOLDDATA.
I've used quote site lrecl=80 but when the first line of R1235.txt is 81 
columns, how many ever lines the file has, FTP-ing it from desktop to mainframe 
brings in only the first line.
Usually, I get around this but just making sure the first record stops at col 
80.
Easy to do when dealing with only a handful of files..

Help! What's the best way to forcefully truncate the broken .txt files at 80 
columns so I can transfer them with ease.
No, I can't setup SMPE RECEIVE ORDER. Fixes get downloaded to a PC, then FTP'd 
from PC to mainframe.
