Ted,
If I had to guess I would say the file is being interpreted as a numbered
file. The difference between numbered and unnumbered is 8 bytes. So, Print
is stripping off the last 8 bytes (thinking it's a numbered file) and
showing you the 00. Quad and Editor are reading in the file as numbered,
reading the last 8 as the line number in 99999.999 format, so they think the
line number is 5.98 and shows you what they think the data is 00. Printing
it with the "nonum" options shows it all. COBOL and Suprtool happen to have
gotten it write.
Thanx,
Jon

Has anyone seen something like this before?

Another view of things...
:print randcf;nonum

Suprtool reads the file correctly as does COBOL.
