Error description
z/OS Explorer 3.1 Carriage Return occurring (0x0d) when transferring File to z/OS UNIX Files When a file is copied from the client to the USS file system my windows file has line breaks identified by carriage return + line feed as is customary in windows. After transfering the file to the mainframe in z/OS UNIX Files sometimes a carriage return hexcode is left over after transfer. When viewing it on the mainframe in ISPF edit with hex on it looks like if Not-Found in Current-Index then 44444444444884D9A6C9A984894CA9989A6C988A4A889044 000000000009605630664540950349955309545703855D00 * This additional 0x0d seems to be occurring on page borders (0x1000 or 4096) which is the usual transfer size.
Local fix
Preferences->Remote Systems->Files->File Transfer Buffer Size->Upload from the default (40K) to something much larger like 400K.
Problem summary
When using text-mode to upload a file that is larger than the transport buffer size from Windows to z/OS, it is possible for the resulting file to contain carriage return characters.
Problem conclusion
The '\r' chars can remain due to the line break conversion missing the case where the Windows \r\n sequence of characters is split across buffer boundaries.
Temporary fix
