 Many useful suggestions have been sent in response to your message.  
 However, it sounds like you have the option of choosing the character you 
 wish to have as the end-of-record specifier on the PC side.  Why don't 
 you create a simple text file on the PC, and ftp it to the AS/400.  That 
 will determine the ebcdic to ascii correlation.  I did this to test, and 
 found out that if you want the "|" character in the resulting PC file, 
 use a "]" on the AS/400 records.
 
 Good luck.
