OPEN dataset & last line - carriage return & COGNOS

55 Views

Hi,

We wrote a program to generate a file in application server (network) for COGNOS... It is obvious we used OPEN, TRANSFER, CLOSE datasets to create/write a file into application server.

When you generate a file with OPEN/TRANSFER it adds a last line with a single CR (carriage return). What we were told by COGNOS developer is they don't want this last line.

Bu it seems that that is the nature of producing text files into application server wih OPEN/TRANSFER/CLOSE datasets, even into presentation server with GUI_DOWNLOAD command.

So what do you think about that?

  • Is there a way to get rid of this last line with OPEN/TRANSFER/CLOSE datasets?

  • or should COGNOS able to process the file with this last line?

Thanks,
