Marc,
It is most likely a carriage return or newline character at the end of
each line (don't recall which one it is.)

I am having a problem of universe (or linux) adding an extra character when I
write a file out. I have tried creating a file two different ways, using
WRITESEQ and WRITE to a type 19 file.
Here is the code...
WRITE DEPOSIT.REQUEST ON SWITCH.FILE,'nashbar.deposit.4'
or
OPENSEQ "/usr1/BN.TEST/SWITCH-FILE/nashbar.deposit.4" TO DATA.FILE
WEOFSEQ DATA.FILE
END ELSE
CREATE DATA.FILE ELSE
CRT "CAN'T CREATE"
END
END
WRITESEQ DEPOSIT.REQUEST ON DATA.FILE ELSE CRT "DIDN'T WRITE"
Before the write, I do a CRT "A LENGTH = ":LEN(DEPOSIT.REQUEST) and the length
is coming out at 616. When I look at it in Linux, it is showing a size of
617.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SWITCH-FILE]$ ls -l nashbar.deposit.4
-rw-rw---- 1 mc users 617 Aug 1 16:24 nashbar.deposit.4
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SWITCH-FILE]$ wc nashbar.deposit.4
1 14 617 nashbar.deposit.4
Any ideas if the culprit is Linux or Universe adding the extra character, what
the extra character could be, and/or how to stop it from writing out, if
possible. When I try to edit the filename within universe, I do not see any
hidden or control characters.
We are running Universe 10.0.9 and Linux 7.3
Thanks in advance
Marc
