RE: C/A file transfer differences??

OK - Thanks - I see it now. It has to do whether or not the file was
created with DDS or just by CRTPF.

I think there is a check box under properties somewhere that says
whether to translate CCSID 65535

You're seeing the EBCDIC hex representation of the data. The easiest
way to know this is EBCDIC hex x'40' (the repeating "40"s in the

below) is a space character (ASCII 32). Is this a new or existing
transfer? Check for CCSID 65535 on the transfer itself, and the CCSID
of the file and field being transferred.

I'm losin' it!

I've done these C/A file transfers FROM system i5 for years w/o
trouble
- to both ASCII and BIFF (Excel) formats!

Now, I do one the very same way, and get this junk when I open it in
Excel:

FTP25
C1404040C2404040C340404040404040404040404040404040

C1404040E5404040C740404040404040404040404040404040

82404040C64040408840404040404040404040404040404040


What the heck is going on this time - is it something about the format

of the data in the System i file??
