Hi
I am using a program to write to the ifs in ascii format. I am using x'OD' = ascii 13 and x'25' = ascii 10.

If you are trying to output text on a new line then you need to output both the OD & 25 codes

If you are using the API's to write ascii to the IFS I have enounted different results depending on if the file was craeted on the PC or created using the API's.

If any other experts have any additional info please can you add it. It has fustrated me.

Dave

Hey,
The problem is that different OS treat end-of-line differently.
In the DOS, Windows and OS/2 both CR and LF (13 and 10) are needed.
Unix uses only LF.
The older versions of Macintosh use only CR.
The newer versions of Mac OS X use only LF.

When you FTP an AS400 database file, the client and server should deal with end of line properly.
When you FTP an IFS file in ASCII mode, the client and server should deal with end of line properly.
When you FTP an IFS file in Binary mode, what you have in the original file is exactly what will be in the target file.
If you use the built-in commands like CPYTOSTMF, CPYFRMSTMF, CPYFRMIMPF, CPYTOIMPF, they can convert the EOL properly.
If you write a program to create a text file in IFS - it is up to you to programatically determine the proper EOL sequence.

As you probably know, AS/400 isn't working with ASCII but with the EBCDIC character code table.
If you look to the ASCII-EBCDIC table on http://www.flash.net/~gwstern/ascii_ebcdic.html

you can see all ASCII codes with the EBCDIC replacement vv.

Hi Shalomc,
  I am writing a program using Lotus Script to create text file in AS400 server. In which I've to remove all carriage returns. My question is, how shall i go about it? Currently i use "chr(13)" to recognise the carriage return. It works fine in NT server but not in AS400. What is the correct "code" for AS400 to recognise that it's a carriage return?

  Your help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Eunice

Hi
What I woudl do is simply write the data to a text file and shell to a batch FTP command PUTting or APPENDing the data to the as/400.

pc commands are in ftp.ftp

userid password
put c:\temp\myfild.txt   as400lib.file
quit


the shell command is

shell ftp -s:ftp.ftp as400 ipaddress

This should do everything you need

Sorry about that Murphey.  But as I read this thread, it looks as though the asker tried your suggestion, but it didn't work.  Because of this, I am not going to award points.  I am going to PAQ/No refund.

PAQd and 40 points not refunded

For what I think that could have happened (I know this thread is already closed...):

If the same file has been transferred from Windows to AS/400 using FTP in ASCII mode the CRLF would have been encoded from ASCII to EBCEDIC. If BINARY would have been used as transfer method the CRLF is the same hex numbers as usual under ASCII specific to Windows (013, 010).
So, first of all one has to evaluate where the data has been entered to find out which code has been used for the "ENTER" key and then one has to make sure that it has not been modified on the way through the systems.

A search for chr(013) will find CR, but not LF. This will result in a logical CRLF on a Linux system for example, since Linux needs LF for linebreaks only.

Possible chars for linebreaks are:
EBCEDIC: 013, 037 (CR/LF) or in hex: 0x0D, 0x25
ASCII: 013, 010 (CR/LF) or in hex: 0x0D, 0x0A

HTH, Ferrosti
