The IFS its NOT a PF. IF you do not have a 3rd party software that is going to read the “big string” then you have to read it as a text file.
Or convert it when the FTP part starts.

but on the 400 PF you would have a record length,if you create the file coming in
the record length would be in the thousands.
isn’t the problem the sender not having a end of record code.
if brought in on PC notepad and convert to msdos its okay

We FTP to the IFS and use gentran to process it. It works great. I checked and it also comes in as one string. Another place I was at I generated a program to read the IFS file one character at a time to generate/break at the segmants I needed. If you want an example program I think I still have it. Just email me if you want it. rkoontz at ceioh.com. Thanks

i don’t think so, becuase if you create a file with a record length
the file ftp’d could be any record length.
comes in as one long string.
thanks anyway

I’ve seen this problem… 10 years ago. And it had to do with and EDI transmission, too.

I think what we did was create the file on the 400 and then FTP into that file.

I can’t say for sure, but its worth a try.
