This has been discussed here many times. IIRC, the issue is a parameter on the originating *nix FTP that controls how a 'record' is delimited. You have to go to the originating *nix box and set that FTP parameter to send CRLF instead of just LF. Once you do that, all is well with the world.
There are a number of cludgey workarounds, but fixing a root issue is generally best. AFAIK, the offending paramter/option exists only on many flavors of *nix. There is no equivlant on Windows or z/os. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of ??? ?? ???

The transfer is initiated in a batch job and is part of a production process. Is there a ftp parameter that will help me? We are using z/Os 1.9.
