I'm going to post this to the Domino forum as well because that is the 
application that is creating the file but anyway here's my problem.

The Domino application creates a file in the IFS 
(under /lotus/domino/stc).  The file has a CCSID of 37.  The file 
consist of two fields, the first 8 bytes is name followed by a pipe 
symbol.  The pipe symbol is followed by another name.
This is were is gets tricky.

The record ends with x25, or LF.

When I view this via option 5, I see the data nicely formatted. Press 
F10 to turn on hex and I see all the characters correctly with x25 at 
the end of each line.
If I try to transfer this to our mainframe using the following :
(login)
quote cdup   <--Sets mainframe dataset to null
quote site lrecl=15    <--sets record length to 15, which is correct.
namefmt 1   <-- to get to IFS files
put /lotus/Domino/prod/Apps/file.dat 'tech.test.domino.upload'

I get a message that data has been truncated.  When I view it on the 
Mainframe, I only see on record.  Problem with end of record I suppose.

I thought that maybe if I put the file in ASCII mode it would ake a 
difference so I tried.
CPY OBJ('/lotus/domino/prod/Apps/file.dat') TOOBJ('FILEA.dat') TOCCSID
(*PCASII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)

I tried the same FTP sequece, same result.

I would think that this is an FTP issure rather than a Domino one.  I 
guess any application could just use x25 (LF) and not x25 x0D (LF/CR).

Seems like a simple thing but this has been taking up way too much 
time for an FTP deal.


TIA,

Mike
