Re: FTP of IFS file to Mainframe

I'm going to post this to the Domino forum as well because that is the application that is creating the file but anyway here's my problem.

The Domino application creates a file in the IFS (under /lotus/domino/stc). The file has a CCSID of 37. The file consist of two fields, the first 8 bytes is name followed by a pipe symbol. The pipe symbol is followed by another name.

This is were is gets tricky.

The record ends with x25, or LF.

When I view this via option 5, I see the data nicely formatted. Press F10 to turn on hex and I see all the characters correctly with x25 at the end of each line.

If I try to transfer this to our mainframe using the following :
(login)
quote cdup   <--Sets mainframe dataset to null
quote site lrecl=15    <--sets record length to 15, which is correct.
namefmt 1   <-- to get to IFS files
put /lotus/Domino/prod/Apps/file.dat 'tech.test.domino.upload'

I get a message that data has been truncated. When I view it on the Mainframe, I only see on record. Problem with end of record I suppose.

I thought that maybe if I put the file in ASCII mode it would ake a difference so I tried.

CPY OBJ('/lotus/domino/prod/Apps/file.dat') TOOBJ('FILEA.dat') TOCCSID
(*PCASII) DTAFMT(*TEXT)

I tried the same FTP sequece, same result.

I would think that this is an FTP issure rather than a Domino one. I guess any application could just use x25 (LF) and not x25 x0D (LF/CR).

Seems like a simple thing but this has been taking up way too much time for an FTP deal.

TIA,
