Loyd,

This is a new transfer - I am doing it the same way I have hundreds of
time before. I do see the 65535 of the file on System i.

You're seeing the EBCDIC hex representation of the data. The easiest way
to know this is EBCDIC hex x'40' (the repeating "40"s in the segment
below) is a space character (ASCII 32). Is this a new or existing
transfer? Check for CCSID 65535 on the transfer itself, and the CCSID of
the file and field being transferred.

HTH,
Loyd

I'm losin' it!

I've done these C/A file transfers FROM system i5 for years w/o trouble
- to both ASCII and BIFF (Excel) formats!

Now, I do one the very same way, and get this junk when I open it in
Excel:

FTP25
C1404040C2404040C340404040404040404040404040404040

C1404040E5404040C740404040404040404040404040404040

82404040C64040408840404040404040404040404040404040


What the heck is going on this time - is it something about the format
of the data in the System i file??
