I have not had that problem, exactly. But the x'25' is an EBCDIC LF (line feed). However, z/OS UNIX files should be delimited with x'15', which is an EBCDIC NEL (new line). I have had this problem when transferring a file from Windows to z/OS UNIX when the lines in the Windows file are delimited only with LF instead of CRLF. I think that's what it was. It was a fair amount of time ago. You might have a code page problem. A "work around" is to transfer the file to a z/OS UNIX file. Then, on the z/OS system, translate the x'25' to x'15' tr '/045' '/025' <bad.input >good.output -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
