i am having a problem with what posix is reporting as the number of bytes
in the file.  this is causing a problem with samba but the problem is with
posix.

A listfile of the file reports this
 PATH= /WARDS/ARCL/deliveries/loctest/

 CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME
         SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
         444B  FA          91    5000000   9     6144  1 32  rte344.txt

the number of bytes should be 91 * 444 or 40404 bytes

an ls listing in the shell reports this

--> ls -l
-rwxrwx---   1 MGR.WARDS         WARDS      43732 Jul  6 15:04 rte344.txt

i run tobyte on the file and i get a file with 40404 bytes.

--> ls -l
-rwxrwx---   1 MGR.WARDS         WARDS      43732 Jul  6 15:04 rte344.txt
-rw-rw----   1 MGR.WARDS         WARDS      40404 Jul  6 15:06 rte3442b.txt

 PATH= /WARDS/ARCL/deliveries/loctest/

 CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME
         SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
         444B  FA          91    5000000   9     6144  1 32  rte344.txt
           1B  BA       40404 2147483647   1      160  1  *  rte3442b.txt

i know that the file size may be less then eof times record length.
but what would cause it to report a file size greater then this calculation?

(since this is a posix question I thought I should use lower case letters)

thanks
