I agree, with one correction. The hex code for NEL is x'15', not x'25'. x'25' is LF which is __NOT__ what z/OS UNIX files use. use "od -tx1" on a text file to verify this: echo 'x'|od -tx1 0000000000 A7 15 0000000002 > > BTW, do local politics allow going directly to z/OS instead of > therough the W2008 box? > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
