RE: Using CPYTOSTMF to TXT file PC sees extra record

Pete Hall asked:

It's asking quite a bit, but hey... IBM, couldn't you implement the
ability to suppress the record delimiter at the end of file? Or did I
miss something and you've been doing that since 1986?

An interesting request. I don't know if it would be worth it, though.

The vast majority of PC-based or even UNIX-based utilities I have ever
worked with _want_ the 0D0A at the end of the file. But, a very few
don't.
