Hi,

I am attempting to transfer a file from our HP9000 to our HP3000.  The file
is a 633-byte record length datafile.  Using FTP on the e3000, I used these
statements:

ftp> get dhs_chdp CHDP;REC=-633,44,F,BINARY
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for dhs_chdp (675411 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
675411 bytes received in 0.64 seconds (1022.61 Kbytes/sec)

But on the MPE side, I get this:

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

CHDP              317W  FB        1066     204800  44     2656  5  8

Instead of creating a 633-byte record length file, it created a 634-byte
record length file, an offset of only 1 byte, but causing an accumulating
shift of each record by 1 byte from one record to the next.  For example, in
the illustration below, the record should be 7 bytes long, but displays the
effect if it is converted to an 8-byte record length file:

Record1:  12345671
Record2:  23456712
Record3:  34567123
Record4:  45671234 etc...

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
