Re: Line-ending for IFS test stream file

I thought that if you were using o_TextData you had to code “your” CRLF as being the appropriate hex values that will result in CRLF post conversion. What values are you using and what is the target code page?

Hi folks,

I've got a program which opens, reads, scans the data modifying some of
the content, then writes and truncates a file in the IFS. It uses the
open, write, ftruncate, and close APIs. The open uses the o_TextData flag
so the CCSIDs are automatically converted for my program to manipulate the
data on the IBM i. Everything works great with the exception that the line
ending carriage-return and line feed (CRLF) is being changed. When I debug
the program and step through file scanning, the CRLF is being processed
correctly--i.e., I see the two bytes processed at the end of each line.
But when the file is re-written and closed, the CRLF is modified to simply
be a carriage-return.

This isn't a problem most of the time, but there are cases where the PC
program which later uses the processed data isn't recognizing the last
line of data since it doesn't end with CRLF. Is there an option I've
overlooked or something I can do to preserve the CRLF?

Thanks,
Michael Quigley
