The EDI data which I am FTP'ing out is wrapped into 80 column fixed length
records.  This is the way it's extracted from our translator (Gentran -
without their FTP option).  Many of the partners I have dealt with have
asked me to unwrap it - one record per segment.  Or at least not send the
CR/LF after 80 characters.  I've been told that the CR/LF is a 'feature' of
FTP'ing from the iSeries to Windows/Unix.  I have not yet figured out how to
send the data unwrapped.
