Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi Guys,

I am transmitting a file from mainframe to unix server of fixed byte length. But when I checked mainframe file it contains spaces but when it reaches unix it's trimmed. Does anyone know how this can be resolved?

IIRC, there is an FTP option to remove trailing blanks (spaces). Check with your site support group to see if your FTP has this option set.

Update: I had a chance to check the manual, and TRAILINGBLANKS is the option with a default of NOT sending trailing blanks. would need to be added to the FTP to change the default.

Thanks for the options Robert. Will try it and get back.
