Well, getting frustrated with us on this forum isn't going to help you mate ;-) We don't have the ability to change the product for you, and you don't have control over the idiocy of transmitting text files in the wrong format to UNIX.
The fact that UniVerse does it one way is fair enough (even though it is technically wrong), but if you want jBASE to behave the same way (which is probably best), then you need to ask your TEMENOS support people to request an enhancement. At one point we (jBASE) would have made such a patch overnight for you, but I am afraid that you will probably now have to submit the request in triplicate, have it rejected, amended, returned, amended again, and finally recycled as firelighters. Though to be honest, even if you had 300 programs to modify by hand, I could have changed them all by now. If you write a quick awk program, then you could change the programs in a few hours (including writing the program taking you a long time for your first one). Just add: READSEQ Line FROM .... CONVERT CHAR(10):CHAR(13) TO "" IN Line And if you don't want to learn awk, then just write a jBC program to do this. It is pretty trivial and you can even display the lines of code and ask if the proposed change is good, store the names of any programs where the answer is no and so on and so forth. Just apply your initiative to this problem - it really isn't such a big deal. I presume that you have set the jBASE emulation to UniVerse right?
