Re: FTP File Size

[Pete Hall <pbhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try binary instead of ascii or vice-versa? Is the receiving system an 
ascii box or ebcdic? If ebcdic that might be the answer, or if not and 
the file itself is ascii it might be too. Since you're actually getting 
the whole file, look at the end of the file in hex on the sending 
system, and see if there are some unprintable characters there. I've 
seen that cause some problems, although not specifically on the as400. 
Usually an X12 file should only contain letters, numbers, and the 
specified delimiters. If you can't get at the sending system, see if you 
can talk somebody into putting it into an archive and emailing it to 
you. I vaguely remember being able to override stdout to a physical file 
on the as400, but the output is the same thing you see in the 
interactive ftp window on the sending system. On the receiving side, you 
might check the joblog of the ftp server job. No real knowledge here, 
just lots of experience at flailing.
