Scott,
Yeah, I can work-around it easily enough...just hoping to understand what's
going on.
Netserver is configured as CCSID 1252
I don't see anyplace off in a quick look to specify what gets translated
wand what doesn't.
But as I mentioned, it works on other .TXT files (and .TAB for that matter.)
While I've got your attention... :)
Is there a way in the SQL command,
1) to remove the leading LF, x'25' that gets put into the file
2) to specify the TAB char as the separator
3) to use a CRLF as a record separator
Thanks! (I'm going to owe you dinner again)

Hi Charles,
If you want, QShell can write the data to the file in ASCII. Just
pre-create your 'hhc_custs.txt' file in a different CCSID like this:
touch -C 819 /home/wiltc/hhc_custs.txt
Then when you output to the file, it should be translated to CCSID 819
(which is ISO-8859-1, a flavor of ASCII).
As for why NetServer would translate some files but not others... I'd
need to see how your NetServer is configured. In it's default
configuration, NetServer does no translation at all. But, you can
configure it to translate certain file types, et al, in the Netserver
settings that are found in i Nav.
Personally, I always prefer translation to be turned off in NetServer.
I prefer to do my translation in my programs (or by hand). The vast
majority of files I have in the IFS should not be translated, so I would
rather it not do so automatically.

Now, I've got other text stream files in the same folder also coded as
CCSID 37 that open just fine in UE. So it doesn't appear to be a general
issue with Netserver.
If I FTP the file back to my PC, it get's translated properly. So the
issue appears to be just with Netserver and just with this file.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why Netserver isn't converting this
file?
Thanks!
