WHAT CHARACTER IS NEEDED *EOR? | Advice: Search400

Dear Ask the Expert, 
I am having an issue with the *EOR using CPYTOIMPF. I'm sending 
data to a SYBASE database and it seems that when the last field of 
the record is blank that it is losing the place for that field and 
causing errors in SYBASE. The SYBASE administration folks can't 
seem to tell me what character is needed. Any help that you can 
provide is very much appreciated. Application development expert 
Tim Granatir offers some advice.
