Re: cpytostmf file layout problem

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple questions/comments -

1. Where are you getting the 132 record length? Can I assume it is when you 
take option 5 in WRKLNK? Often you are better off looking at IFS files with 
a Windows app like TextPad

2. I'm not sure what you mean by preserving the format - can you say more 
about what you expect or hope to see?

3. Remember that IFS stream files are not record-based. You CAN specify a 
record-delimiter that is appropriate for Windows or Unix, however, but this 
will be honored only in an app on the respective OS.

Thanks
Vern
