Red Hat was probably thinking that this would generate more revenue. IBM generates
revenue on hardware support, so software is not as important as it is to Red Hat.

Yes. I think if you look carefully you will see that each record in your file ends
with a CR-LF pair (which is \r\n). Linux does not use a \r\n as end of line. The \r
is part of the data. So when you added a field, the \r became part of the new field.

You are installing 64-bit system then? From the deeper recesses of my

The variable is valued using the following statement

The \r is not apart of the file being read. The file read has 8 fields and
PAGESIZE is the last one. It seems to be that \r is a part of the carriage
return / line-feed
It's not that \r was appended to the if clause, it is that the value of the

'NONE\r'
as opposed to this:
NONE\r
How that variable gets that value assigned to it is unknown, since you don't

FICON would help with the data transfer, but PAV is what would help with the
multiple simultaneous reads/writes.
Since you are ESCON, you are not PAV capable, so the next best solution
would be to spread the data across as many volumes as possible. If you have
a control unit capable of creating m

"can be" as the operative phrase is fine and good.
Just as long as the GCC team doesn't turn that into "must be"
You might want to see if you can get FICON instead of ESCON.
