Is this an ASCII<->EBCDIC problem? Can you view it with a simple viewer at both ends? If it appears to contain some text on z/OS and also on Linux, it has been translated EBCDIC->ASCII. That breaks it. (Is this something similar to C #include files or HLASM macros?) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
