Thanks, John. I do believe that should do it! Lindy

Does it not do this for you? I did the following to test this. 1) create a report on z/OS with ASA control characters 2) ftp download to my Linux box, using the Linux ftp client to z/OS ftp server. using QUOTE SITE ASA 3) ftp upload the report back to z/OS This worked in that the uploaded report had ASA control characters. In particular, it translated the "1" in column 1 to a ^L (form feed) on Linux and vice versa on the upload. I don't know Control-D but guess that you could then print the dataset involved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
