I used a small CLLE program - tested in debug mode, interactively - looked at the file directly after the CPYFRMSTMF and could see the Hex(25), the sql statement runs and the HEX(25)'s are replaced with HEXS(40)
Beautiful
Changed the program that needs to be changed and started the process - in batch
Does not work

Smells like a library list issue. Is the batch run calling the exact
same CLP?

In debug - when the file that gets created from the CPYFRMSTMF is DBU'ed - the one record containing the HEX(25) has already been split into 6 individual records BEFORE the SQL statement can be run

Yes; x'25' is carriage return, the record separator.
Some ASCII files use '0d25', some just use x'25' It depends on whether
the file came from Microsoft, Linux, mainframe, etc.
