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. - Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure MARKSANDSPENCER.COM ________________________________ Unless otherwise stated above: Marks and Spencer plc Registered Office: Waterside House 35 North Wharf Road London W2 1NW Registered No. 214436 in England and Wales.
