Re: ASCII to EBCDIC problem with CA/400 and FTP

[Fred Pritchard <pritch@xxxxxx>]

Thank you for your assistance.  You pointed me in the right direction. 
I have determined the problem.  The text file was created using MS Word
97 and Word has a helpful function called 'Smart Quotes'.  'Smart
Quotes' automatically replaces 'Straight Quotes' with 'Smart Quotes' or
a Curly Quote.  I turned this feature off in Word and it works now.

To turn this off you need to go to "Tools...AutoCorrect...AutoFormat As
You Type" and under "Replace as you type" unselect the option.

Thanks Again for all of your help.
