Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 5, Issue 1952

Wayne,

Your correct.  Sorry I have been bouncing around so many variations of 
my testing it's driving me crazy.  I set the LRECL to 18 I still get 
the data trucation message.  If I set it to 19 I see the record on the 
mainframe with x25 on the end.  

Its like the FTP server/client won't use that for the end of record 
delimiter.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and if there is an FTP 
command that I'm not aware of.  I might just have the developer use 
DECS (allow Domino to access DB2 tables) and write it to a table but I 
would still like to solve this...

Mike, the field lengths don't seem to add up.  If both name fields 
are 8 
characters, then you have 'xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxxLF' for a total of 18 
characters.

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,

Mike
