RE: Client Access File transfer truncating records

Have you tried sending a carriage return and line feed in position 93 & 94
of the last record? 
We used to have a similar problem, sometimes we filled the last character of
a record with an X and ignored it on the other side to force the PC record
length.

        Subject:        Client Access File transfer truncating records

        We are having a small problem transferring a file from our AS/400 to
a
        PC.  The file on the AS/400 consists of one 94 byte text record.
When
        we run the download, we save the file as an ASCII text file with an
        extension of .TXT.    The last record is a trailer record with
        information only in the first 55bytes.   The problem we are having
is
        this, all of the data gets transferred correctly except for the fact
the
        fact that the last record is truncated to the 55th position.  The
        application that uses this file requires every record to be padded
with
        blanks to the 94th position.

        Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get this last record to
        download correctly? << File: Card for Bob Clark >>
