I suspect the file isn't using cr/lf (X'0D0A') between the records. Download it as binary and look at it in hex. I download everything as binary and use a pipe to deblock it and translate from ascii to ebcidic. I'll supply my pipeline if you need it. Good Luck. Jim

Input string is too long We are trying to FTP GET a file from a foreign host. We enter: get bbbb_SSS_GG_THISLONGNAMES_20070815.xml MYVMFIL.xml The system returns: DTCFTC0392E File transfer aborted. Input string is too long Is there a restriction on the GET that the filename to be gotten cannot be 37 bytes? Is there a way around this? Is it our VM system or the foreign system with the restriction?
