Looking at some doc on _C_IFS_fgets, it does not sound like a good api
to use when reading an image file. It seems to be intended for text
base file.

Subject: RE: Send_File API versus Send API over a Socket
Also, you said you used unix's send api, I'm assuming that you are
referring to the socket send() api. This api has 4 parms and one of
them is the buffer/data length. How does your SendtheData() determines
the buffer length?

I do not know how those api work. However, it looks strange for me to
see %trim(BufOut) being used when attempt to use api to send the data.
Use of %trim would alter the data, which breaks the rule of sending the
data as it.
For example, if BufOut contains a string that happen to have leading
blanks, the %trim will strip them out before api sending it.

Using FTP is not an option for this particular application.
Looking at the data a little closer in a tool that compares two
files...if I look at the data from a copy of the image file that I FTP
to the PC and compare it to the one sent over the socket, I can see
where there is a bunch of blank spaces inserted into my file, and it
looks like possibly a carriage return or line feed is being inserted
there too.
It has to be a buffer length issue or something like that.
Here's the relevant bit of code:
The variable bufOut is 32,767 bytes long (character field)
D ifsReadLine PR * ExtProc('_C_IFS_fgets')
D inBuffer * Value Options(*String)
D inBufLen 10i 0 Value
D inFilePtr * Value Options(*String)
*------------------------------------------------------------
C Dow ifsReadLine(%Addr(BufOut):
C %Size(BufOut):zp) <> *NULL
C callp(e) SendtheData(socketDescriptor:
%Trim(BufOut))
C Eval BufOut = *Blanks
C Enddo
