Why do you need to convert to MPE plain vanilla - we import some bytestream files and read them as byte stream in Cobol
If it would be useful, I can send you a copy of a cobol program we use to convert from Bytestream to fixed length.

I need to get a file from a server running NT. The file on the NT server
uses line feeds only as record delimiters. My understanding is that this is
what is known as a bytestream file. I need a plain old MPE flat file with a
record length of 160 on the 3k.
So what's wrong with the following? All I get is a single record (the first
in the file).
open xx.x.xx.xxx
user user password
cd directory_where_the_file_is
bytestream
get testfile.txt testfile.group;rec=-160,1,f,ascii;move
quit
Thanks for any help,
