RE: tip required to transfer large data from User Space to IFS

["Ian Patterson" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Scott, if the CCSID was wrong, I would still be able to open
the file, but with rubbish data.
But Notepad sees it OK, so I don't think thats it.

Delphi is a current version (5) and usually gets things right for 32bit
Windows, although I have known it to be a bit sensitive at times.

I think it points to the IFS Mode. I definately had to change some rights to
get the thing going, so I need to do a bit more checking there.
(whats a umask ??)

Unfortunately I am now out of the office until Thursday morning (its 6.15 pm
here), so won't be able to check out any ideas until then.

Thanks to those who have helped so far.

Hmmm... it sounds like the iSeries is doing it's job properly if Notepad
can open the file.  I don't know what Delphi does differently...  Unless
Delphi is an old version, like Win 3.1?

Why would you have to manually give authority?  Something's not kosher
here...  If you've got a file mode of 511, everyone should have both read
& write authority to the file.   Unless it's a umask problem?  What's your
umask set to?
