• Env: HostOnDemand v10.0.5/v10.0.6
  When uploading a PC file to iSeries using file transfer (not
  data transfer), the field is full of the character of the last
  record and the new-line code is attached, an extra line is
  added.
  
  
  If the new-line character is not appended to the last record,
  this problem does not occur.
