Tim:

This is for a different customer and I don't have that command on my system.  
Would appreciate a
copy.  Unfortunately I don't have your email address, mine is artjr@link400.com

Are you writing out the CR/LF's or is the sending process adding them ?
AS/400 FTP will add them if you're sending a database file (ASCII or
EBCDIC mode) . If you have the ZMOD product there then you have
reformatting commands that will wrap and/or strip for you either to an
IFS file or a DBF. If not, email me and I can send you the necessary
command.

Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
