Hi Brian,

What does an 'ls -l' of STOP.DATA show?

If I do a 'touch STOP.DATA from within the shell, then echo ABCD >>
STOP.DATA, I see 5 bytes...
Wouldn't the last byte be the end of line character(/n)?

Thanks,

Gary

STOP.DATA has one 4 byte record in it.
SENTMSG4 is a 1 byte bytestream file.

Why is the listf showing an eof = 5 when fcopy only fcopy'd ONE record?

TIA,
