Re: bif' %addr available in v4r4?

Thank you for the reply.

I ran through debug before but I was only looking at PartNo.  I figured out what the 
problem is but I don't know how to fix it.  I think I caused the problem.  I changed the 
open statements to point to tmp in the root.  When I view the file it's in binary instead 
of text.  Is it a problem of what the tmp folder's ccsid is?

How could I fix it so I will be able to read text files from tmp?

Thank you,

Gary

I'm in the USA
