When you RECEIVEd it into CMS without the KEEPCC option, the carriage control character was discarded. If that is what you are missing, then use the KEEPCC option on RECEIVE. This way it will print exactly as it would have if you had printed directly on VSE. If you are missing yet another byte of data, then the first byte may have been interpreted as being TRC somewhere along the way. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
