Re: IP filters without OpsNav

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard, if you are seeing letters with spaces between, that's usually an 
indication for me that the file is in a UNICODE code page but is being 
displayed in something else. I don't know whether you can edit these 
directly in EDTF. But you could take option 8 on the file and see what it 
is. If you've taken option 2 to edit, try F15 and change the CCSID. I 
forget the UNICODE CCSID.
