Hi Thomas,

Its possible that I am confusing two different things...  but, at the start of this thread, you said you were opening the file in text mode.   The purpose of doing of opening a file in text mode is to convert things to EBCDIC.

Ok, forgive my ignorance. How/where am I converting to EBCDIC? Is that what opening and closing the files on IFS are doing? I'm really just trying to use the SMTP email routines to attach a pdf file to an email, and sending it.
DO i have an extra unneeded step in there?

PDF?! PDFs are binary documents, you can't convert those to EBCDIC -- that makes no sense.
