When you do the same activity, or when you upload the exact same<BR>
spreadsheet?<BR>
<P>
The first thing that comes to mind is that this may be a language<BR>
translation issue. What are the PC languages involved here?<BR>

All, <p>I have a very strange problem. <p>I have a user in Croatia uploading a spreadsheet via the Client Access data transfer add-in (cwbtfxla.xll). In a field containing blanks in the spreadsheet 'the transferred field contains X'00004040'. <p>When I do the same from my PC, the transferred field contains X'40404040' <p>I attached both the DDT and FDF files. Both are the same on both PC's <BR>
CA version is V5R3 ptf level SI18398 <p>any help is appreciated. <p><!--mccodelink_begin--> <BR>

Bill, <p>The error appears when i upload the EXACT same spreadsheet, to the same AS/400 file. <p>Both PC's run the US version of the W2K Operating System, one with the Croatian regional setings and one with the Dutch regional settings. I have tried to change my PC to croatian settings, but the error did NOT apprear then. <p>What worries me is that the characters are binary zeros, so I was looking in the direction of variable length fields, but that is not the case.The AS/400 file copied to has no variable length fields. <p>Any idea's are welcomed at this point to save me a trip to croatia :-)

Only thing I could think of would be to have the user recreate the FDF file<BR>
by doing a download.<BR>
