If it is UniData - you probably need to consider the endian of the files
(which is the same consideration in fact if it is UniVerse).
So - you would need to run convdata, convidx, convcode and quite
possibly convmark.
Each are fairly well documented in the manuals - but my guess is that

Hello Steve,
Are you setting the FTP transfer process to binary mode
before doing the transfer?
What versions of UniVerse or UniData?
Any compatible tape device between the servers?
Have you tried a process similar to the following:
1) creating a type 1 file
2) copying data from larger
Test your assumption by performing some manner of CRC on the files
before and after transit. If you can perform an md5 checksum on AIX,
Redhat will have a compatible program called md5sum. But realistically,
ftp file transfer should have nil affect on the files.

Your source files are not in use by chance are they?
If so that could be your problem. You may be catching 1/2 of a write
when the copy is being transferred.

Thank you for all your emails. I will even get more specific so I don't
waste your time. When trying to run a REBUILD.DF, it could not read or find
the header. When I tried to remove the header and tried to DEFINE.DF, I got

I had the same problem with a migration from a Data General to an
AIX/UniVerse 10.1.7. I undid the distribution on the Data General, did the
migration, and re-build the distribution on the UniVerse side and it worked
fine. The problem is that when

Thanks Tom. This worked perfectly. I saved my dictionaries before I
removed the distributed file header then added it later after I created the
new DF header.
