Client Access Transfers Linefeed-Terminated Data

Hey, Ted:

Here is some information regarding an interesting situation I had with Client Access File Transfer. For some time, we had been receiving a file from a bank and uploading it to the AS/400 with Client Access. We changed banks, and were surprised when the first file they sent us used only a linefeed character to delimit records. We wasted a lot of time trying to get the bank to end records with the usual carriage-return linefeed combination, and we finally determined that their software was not flexible enough to accommodate our request.

Is there an EBCDIC-to-ASCII converter in Qshell?
