Ultraedit works well, since it can represent the raw data in hexadecimal format.

Even better, have one of your Windows programmers take a dump of the data and look at the hexadecimal representation of the data, and count the number of bytes between Carriage-Return/Line Feeds. Look for a continuous string of characters that would indicate that the records are being padded (such as blanks, which are an ASCII x'20').
We have verified the file using Ultraedit.

Ok, now that I believe you understand our problem, what is the solution?

Thanks!

I couldn't replicate the same problem using some random data in a VB, LRECL 1000 dataset, so I'm wondering if this may be unique to your site (maybe the Windows FTP server is causing this?).

I think, to progress any further, that we'll need to see one record, in hex, of the EBCDIC data, and the same record, in hex, in the ASCII format after the FTP.

Here is an example of results that I got:
Code:
