I have a file (built by another application) which I copy to the HP via FTP
in bytstream format.

This gives an EOF figure of 11471.

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

INETORDS            1B  BA       11471   16384000   1       48  1 32

I then thought I would use FCOPY with the DEBLOCK option to change it to a
fixed format. Yet when running FCOPY it reports a rec size of 8192 and
copies only part of the file.

fcopy from=inetords.inet;to=ordloadf.inet;deblock=-372

I have looked at the file on the PC and it looks ok. The 8192th character
is part of a data string. (I do not appear to have any special tools on the
PC to look at hidden characters)

Ignoring the fact 372 does not divide precisely into the total does anyone
have any clues/suggestions.

TIA
