What File type are you using? It might be defaulting because of the file type. I am issuing the receive with a file type of ICCF.

When I RECEIVE PRT files from a VSE virtual 3800 they are always RECFM 'F' and 205 bytes even if the longest print line is 10 bytes. If they were received as 'V' it would save a lot of space. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 44 years [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" On Tue, 22 Jan 2008 08:38:33 -0700 Wakser, David said: >All: > > I am issuing a RECEIVE from within an EXEC to receive a lot of files >onto a minidisk.
