-- My initial suggestion is to use API's to do this. I have read stream files on the IFS with API's so I am sure that they exist to write them as well. The IBM Info Center would be the place to check. >>> kc62301@yahoo.com 07/11/02 02:00PM >>> I'm trying code a COBOL program that generates an XML file. The COBOL program WRITEs to a physical file or source file member, then I transfer the file to a PC text file. I've used the Client Access Express transfer function, the copy to stream file (CPYTOSTMF) command and the copy to PC document (CPYTOPCD) command. In each case, an end-of-file label is added to the text file. The end-of-file label makes the XML file ill-formed. (Deleting the end-of-file label with a text editor makes the XML file well-formed.) Can I WRITE directly to a PC text file from COBOL400? Or can I set up a translation table that does not add an end-of-file label to the PC text file? Thanks for any insights.
