Subject: Client Access Transfer

Greetings,

I'm using client access transfer (version 5.9) to take a flat file from
our iSeries that is 300 characters long and place it on our network so
the end user can upload it to the bank for their Positive Pay System.
The bank's specs of the file are as follows:

Must be 300 characters regardless of the data length, in the 301st
position there is a carriage return, there can not be any blank records,
and it must be uploaded as a .TXT file.

I am able to give them the correct length (with spaces padded at the end
of the record if needed), when the last record in the file is
encountered it is adding the carriage return and end of file indicator.
I can control if the end of file indicator is included or not but either
way it is causing (according to the bank) a blank record at the end.

I was using textpad to eliminate the "last (blank) record" and then
saving the file as a .txt. The bank will not accept any files that are
manually modified.

Can someone point me in the right direction as how this can be
accomplished using Client Access Transfer, or if it is not possible any
ideas on how to give the bank what they are asking for.

Thank you
