The only way I know of to guarantee you get the same file back with the same characteristics when there are non-IBM systems in between is to: 1. use XMIT to convert the VB file to a sequential XMIT-format file (RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120) 2. transfer the XMIT file (RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120) in binary mode to your open system 3. transfer the XMIT file from the open system to your (other?) host system (RECFM=FB, LRECL=80, BLKSIZE=3120) 4. use RECEIVE on the host to convert the XMIT file back to VB There are minor gotchas and watchfors, but that's the major outline.
