the file upload was successful ,but the header character was truncated . I aslo tried the command "quote site primary=700 secondary=300 recfm=FA LRECL=274 TRAILingblanks wrap" and ftped the file again, the problem was reappear. so anyone can help me and resolve this problem? thanks.WAITING ONLINE.......

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Suggest you not use FA. . .
Actually, i'd pre-allocate the file on the mainframe and simply send the file. |

thanks a lot , the problem is resolved,but i want to WHY.
preallocation on ZOS is right.But the source files maybe come from many locations and the ftp command maybe sent by different people at random time. so have anyother methods can be used? |

The record fomat FB is right .So the entirely FTP quote command is
quote site primary=700 secondary=300 recfm=FB LRECL=273 TRAILingblanks wrap
this command can upload the file which the record length=272 from PC to ZOS, and add EOL at the end of the line. |

Your original post has
| Quote: |
| "quote site primary=700 secondary=300 recfm=FA LRECL=273 TRAILingblanks wrap" |
and record format FA is fixed length records with carriage control characters in the first byte. The first byte would not show up on a browse as it is assumed to be carriage control, not part of your data record. |
