Avoiding truncation of trailing blanks using CPYTOIMPF

pts.

I am trying to transfer a 488-byte fixed-record-length file from the i-Series to an ASCII file in an IFS folder, using CR/LF as the fixed-length record delimiter. The problem is that when I use CPYTOIMPF, it truncates the trailing blanks, and places the CR/LF hex codes directly after the last non-blank character in each record. This is unacceptable to the recipient of my file. Is there a way to preserve the 488-byte length and ensure that the CR/LF goes into pos. 489-490 on the converted ASCII file?

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

In cpyimpf command you can define the file format.

Record format of import file . . *DLM *DLM, *FIXED

I think you should choose *fixed here to resolve the issue.
