Yes, Paul, that's my fallback routine. The files are quite large & strtran needs to be used in conjunction with a fopen / fread etc to make sure I'm dealing with reasonable chunks of data. Plus, the system is under pressure to finish quickly. Getting the ftp right from the get-go is faster & I'm hoping to get the terminator translation going again. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hill <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:05:59 To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Ascii command in Solaris ftp script

Could you not just STRTRAN() LF -> CR/LF or just ignore CRs? -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
