Thanks Paul,
This seems to have worked well enough. I have not verified this yet, but
upon visual inspection it appears fine (the source file should only consist
of ASCII characters):
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get dhs_chdp CHDP;REC=-633,44,F,ASCII
Performing a binary or byte-stream transfer to an ASCII file. (FTPWARN 37)
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for dhs_chdp (675411 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
675411 bytes received in 1.08 seconds (610.72 Kbytes/sec)

Ebon,
It looks like MPE can't create a binary file with an odd record width, so it
adds the extra byte. You can build the file to 633 bytes by making it ASCII.
(REC=-633,44,F,ASCII).
