Hi Roy, What you need to do is to add a line feed LF char(10) to your carriage returns char(13). This can either be done at unix level by cat file | tr '\l' '\l\015' > file2 (15 being the octal equivalent of 13) or programatically by CHANGE(RECORD,CHAR(13),CHAR(10):CHAR(13),-1) I don't have an AIX machine in front of me at the moment so I may not be 100% correct on the syntax but that shout give you something to play around with.
