Dave, If the file is on Linux, then what I've had to do in the past is run "dos2unix <filename>" on it to convert the file to UNIX line endings. I then ftp to the mainframe using ASCII mode. But I also specify that it is VARIABLE, not FIXED length records. You might want to give that a try, if you're not too frustrated. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein.
