Hi,
Is there a way to find out the junk charecters in a flat file. I am getting a
file from a customer that is decrypted and then encrypted and sent as a flat
file to the AS400. But once in a while we recieve junk values in middle of the
the flat file and now there need for a code fix in the program to trap this
junk charected and send a message that the flat file consists some junk
charecters and will not be processed. Can some one help me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dinesh
