Re: Using CPYTOSTMF to TXT file PC sees extra record

The HEX code 0D is a carriage return and 0A is a line feed. I don't really
use the CPYTOSTMF command very often, I usually just write the file directly
to the IFS.

Is the company you are sending this to use Windows to parse it? Maybe you
just need to send the file with a line feed at the end, 0A.

Just a thought.

When I look in the file using WRKLNK there are no blank

When I open the file using Note Pad on the PC it has a blank
record at the end of the file.

I thought this might be a Note Pad issue, sent the file to
be processed (to a 3rd party company)
They rejected the file because it has a blank record at the
end

I asked if they could just ignore it or delete it
Nope their software cannot process blank records, I have to
fix my file.

Here is what the end of the file looks like with WRKLNK
5501750007109397588696XXXXXXNE 7,730.34 01

5501750007109392541782XXXXXXN 24,796.35 01

5501750007109396666959XXXXXXNICA 6,555.63 01

************End of Data********************


Using WRKLNK Display Hex I do see a 0D0A at the end of each
record.
I do not have a 0D0A in my from file on the CPYTOSTMF
So CPYTOSTMF must add it, Would the 0D0A on the last record
cause the blank line on PC applications?
Is there a way to remove it only from the last record

Of course I get this problem 6:30PM the night before I fly
out to Common
