I'm using a viewer on the PC (part of salamander) looking at the file on the 400. It 
shows that it's EBCDIC on the top heading line.

If I use Ultra Edit the file looks like garbage.

Using Wrklnk, display attributes on the file it shows the Code page is 37.

Even though the code page is correct I think it's still in EBCDIC.  I'm surprised that 
Client Access doen't convert it to ASCII automatically. 

Thanks,
