Hi List,
Finally, I used HexCmp and found out the file generated by Oracle PLSQL or report
writer only contains a CR (chr(13)) even if I had a chr(13) and chr(10) in the query.
I re-wrote my export scripts in java, then resulting file is OK.
Thanks to all of you who responded my problem.
Kitty , it is nice on your part to share the solution with the list.
For future : (On the lines of what Stefan said)
May be dd if=inputfile of=outputfile conv=ebcdic/ebcdicb/ibm/ibmb might
have
helped. Check with man dd.
The suggestion given by Raj is worth keeping in mind.
