Hi,

This is my first post to the forum.

When I have spaces in EOF and when I try to download the file, the spaces that are present until EOF are not downloaded.

The file has spaces and when HEX ON is done they have spaces in it.

I can add a character at the last of the file and then download and remove that extra byte but I do not want to do that. I do not want to change my file length and want to download my file with spaces till EOF.

I tried batch mailing of the file by attaching the file to the email job that sends from Mainframe - that did not help either?

Is there a way to accomplish it?

Thanks,
Kalimuthu.C

kalimuthuc,

Is it the trailing spaces on each record that are being dropped? or is it blank records that are being dropped? Btw How are you downloading the file? FTP ? or file transfer program of rumba/extra ?

Kolusu,

This is the trailing spaces. The blank spaces that are present within the data in a record and not dropped, they are intact.

No matter how I download the file, either FTP or through RUMBA session file transfer macro, it does not help in getting the complete file and the trailing spaces are always dropped.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

for ftp use

locsite TRAILingblanks

Specifies that the FTP client preserves the trailing blanks in a fixed format data set when the data is sent to a foreign host.

I use 'SENDSITE' in my FTP parms. This works for me.

The LOCSI TRAIL works fine...Thanks Taltyman.....

Let me see if there are any other conditions with the file and make sure I get what I wanted...

I had not tried the SENDSITE yet NASACAR...anyway...thanks for the regards.
