RE: IFS: Removing blanks from ASCII, comma delimited text file

   <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;    charset=ISO-8859-1">

   Thanks, I don't clarify the issue.  The main = issue is that the end-users
   of the data do not want the blanks in the = field/record.  They want
   trailing blanks truncated.

   well, once you've got it in .csv on the host, why not = zip it and then
   send
   it to the target?  Would be much faster and a = much smaller object in
   transit.
