      Greetings.  Having a file of about 550K appears to be truncating with unpredictable output (was trying to sort with a keyed list).  Does anyone know if this would suggest adusting the limits file in Cloverleaf?

      Appreciate input.   Thanks.

          Hi Russ,

          Are you using the FILESET:FTP protocol?  If so, I think there are some settings in the protocol properties that need to be adjusted to ensure that the FTP connection is not terminated before the entire file is sent/received.  Most of the time, when file is being truncated, the issue is an FTP timeout while the file is being sent/received.  

          If you are not using FTP, you may have bad (non-ASCII) or non-printing characters embedded in the file that causes Cloverleaf to cut off the file.

          Try to determine if a given file truncates in the same place every time or whether it is sporadic and inconsistent.  Inconsistency in where the file is truncated would suggest a timing issue to me, whereas the file truncating in the same place very time would suggest embedded characters.

          You can look at a Hex dump of the file.  Any characters over hex 80 are extended ASCII and probably should not be present in text.

          Hope this helps.
