Bug #35643 for libnet:

Mon May 05 13:45:51 2008 Gary.Burchett [...] sas.com - Ticket created

empty (blank) lines in ASCII files sent from Linux to z/OS (MVS) in text mode are converted to x'25' values. The target file is an FB 80 file. The correct translation would be to convert the empty lines in the ASCII files to a blank line on z/OS. If the following was in an ASCII file: This is the first line The next line will be converted to x'25' on MVS This is the last line, but it will end up starting with x'25' on MVS. I can work around this problem by sending the file through: sed - e 's/^$/ /' This converts empty lines to lines with 1 space. The ASCII to EBCDIC conversion will work correctly with the target of recfm F files. I have not tested to see what would happen to recfm V files. I do know that the standard ftp client on Linux performs the conversion correctly. I am running perl v5.8.8 built for X86_64-linux-thread-multi. Thank you.

Is this not the version information you wanted? This corresponds to libnet-1.22.tar.gz I believe. This is the information I entered with the bug, but not in the text describing the bug.

Well when you read tickets via email that is not sent. Please do a run with $ftp->debug(1); and send the version output. There was a bug like this before, but the latest release should have that fixed. Graham.

First, I want to thank you for the Net::FTP code. It really helped me complete a task that requiring interactive sending and receiving of files between UNIX and MVS. Now here is the data you requested. Here is the output when adding the ->debug(1) immediately before the put. If you need it done earlier, let me know. I have included screen data from SPF showing the resulting file. The original file was: Show quoted text

---- last line of file is above ---- The middle line only contains the linefeed character. = 437 => ./testftp.pl SASGXB is logged on. Working directory is "SASGXB.".
