The Msgs & Codes book says to call the Support Center for assistance. :-) The error (a) has nothing to do with the syntax of the GET command, and (b) is misleading. "Input string" is the data coming from the server. I agree with Mr. Hughes' suggestion that you could be trying to download a file in ascii (text) mode where the lines exceed ~64K in length.
