Re: Change Record Length For FTP

If you're sending to a mainframe, be sure to properly set LRECL for your dataset. Another complicating factor can be the ASCII/binary/EBCDIC conversions during transmission.

Thank you roboticus. I'm not sure how to code the LRECL in the script. Before I posted this question on PerlMonks, I tried '$newreclen = quote site lrecl=94;', but perl didn't like 'lrecl'. How do I properly set LRECL?	[reply]

If you want to send a string to the remote site, you will need to tell Perl that you mean a string: `$ftp->quot("site lrecl=94");` [download] Also see Net::FTP about the `quot` function.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
