  • Issue VARLEN Field Attribute

    We are creating very large files out of our billing app and need to conserve space so we are utilizing the VARLEN attribute in the DDS. These files have one field that could be up to 4500 in length. The files are FTP'd to a remote system for processing. The big problem we are experiencing is that when we FTP the file from our AS/400, the 2-byte binary value that contains the field length is being transmitted with the data. How can one FTP a file that has variable-length fields without transmitting the first 2 bytes of the field? Brian
