Hi All,
I am exicuting a script to pull the UNIX to Mainframe GDG file.
I am getting a blank line after each record.
What could be the issue while copying the Unix file to Mainframe.

Thanks
Husen

What does the script do?
Does this process handle the ASCII to EBCDIC conversion issues?
If so, how does it manage the definition of end-of-line (EOL) and end-of-file (EOF) between the two systems?

Hi Kevin,

The script converts the ASCII to EBCDIC and then copies the UNIX file to Mainframe GDG.

This script is working for one of the interface in production and it does not handle the EOL and EOF, but for the new interface it is giving the issue.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Husen.

So the obvious thing to do is look at what is different, right? Why are you not doing this yourself? Since we don't have access to your site, nor the script(s), nor the source data, nor the output file -- just how much can we help without detailed data?
