Hi All,

We are facing problem when we transfer file from Mainframe to a UNIX server.

For Example, this is my Output data format.

01 DATA.
05 NAME PIC X(05) VALUE SPACES.
05 FILLER PIC X(05) VALUE SPACES.

When I FTP

ARVIN

their response is there are 5 trailing spaces, but when I download it from MF, I dont see any.

I modified it as

01 DATA.
05 NAME PIC X(05) VALUE SPACES.
05 FILLER PIC X(05).

Here I can see trailing spaces, when I download.

Can anyone guide me on this?

Thanks
Arvind B

Each of you should check your transfer options to be if blank truncation is on or off.

Thanks Bill,

But if there are Valid blanks in between, will it cause problems? Say in the same example if we have

A N

How will blank truncation work here?
