That's one of the challenges of working for large companies: lots of bureaucracy that requires many layers of management approval for the installation of anything new. But there is a good business case for that paranoia -- protecting the very resources that got them to become a large company in the first place.

Well, maybe. The question is: What is in the file? A > hex editor on your PC will tell you. The source file, if I haven't copied it adding strange bytes while trying to find the secret, is strictly printable EBCDIC, comprised of the characters a-z (upper and lower case) digits 0-9, blanks, and the characters "-/." (at least there were no others in my test file). Is there a hex editor that is included with Office 2003 or with WinXP?

Looks like I will have to either convert to RECFM F or send it as an attachment. Late breaking news - appending x'05' to each record works regardless of whether SMTP or MIME is specified. > > Alan Altmark > z/VM Development > IBM Endicott > _____________________________________________________ This message contains information which is privileged and confidential and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
