In the AS/400 client FTP log the number of bytes transferred is 
right-justified and blank-filled within a six character area if it is less 
than six digits.  So it wouldn't be
123
it would be
   123

I have a webpage about looking for errors in an AS/400 client FTP log at
http://www.ke9nr.net/iseries/faqs/ftplog.shtml

This covers the 4xx and 5xx errors as well as SOME of the errors that can 
be issued that don't have a number at the beginning.
