Re: RE: Difference between Client Access file transfer and FTP

Howard,

Doing very well, thank you.

Yup, tried all the obvious stuff.  

Just figured it out though...   Because the field is Zoned (signed) Numeric, 
the extra digit is for the sign.  Never noticed this behavior before.  Now we 
go back to the drawing board because we will be moving negative numbers for 
some of our numeric fields.

example:  negative 12345 is File transfered as "-12345"  but FTP sends it as 
"1234N".  Not sure of the impact.

Thanks again.
John

Hey John how ya doing?

Have you checked in the file transfer properties to make sure that you
are going from EBCDIC to ASCII and that the sending file type is
correct?

Having (the I already know you did that part) out of the way, my only
guess, and it is just that, is that CA is whacked somewhere! We move
files back and forth from the 400 to NT and W95 often and I have not
seen that behavior. We are running the version of CA that comes with
4.2.
