Advanced Server 7.3a-eco2 appending control char to end of text document?
I checked the release notes, forums, dsn, etc. and have not seen anything like this. The file is sequential, variable length record format. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Re: Advanced Server 7.3a-eco2 appending control char to end of text document?
You see, Advanced Server doesn't always know the size of non-stream and non-fixed length 512-byte record files. It can estimate the filesize or it can, when these non-native (to AS) files are opened by a client, read to the end of file, counting the number of bytes, to arrive at the exact size (a performance hit).
I think there are cases when estimating file size when a control character might be added, but, I don't recall when/why/how.
I suggest trying to disable estimate_filesize by modifying pwrk.ini and setting ods2_estimate_filesize=no. I think that is the right name. After restarting your server, check the PWRK$MSRV log file, I'm pretty sure the value of the parameter is printed out in that log file.

Re: Advanced Server 7.3a-eco2 appending control char to end of text document?
[SERVERS]
LICENSE_S = NO
[CONFIG]
CLUSTER = YES
I believe the syntax to make the proposed change would make it look like this.
[SERVERS]
LICENSE_S = NO
[CONFIG]
CLUSTER = YES
[ODS2]
ESTIMATE_FILESIZE=NO
Also, currently, the PWRK$MSRV log files show ODS2_ESTIMATE_FILESIZE: 0.
So am I correct in the syntax to update the PWRK.INI file?
Thanks.

Re: Advanced Server 7.3a-eco2 appending control char to end of text document?
I'm 99% sure the parameter is ODS2_Estimate_filesize.
I don't recall what section it goes in. And, I don't have easy access to the code right now to try to figure it out.
If it is easy enough to bounce your server and test, I'd put it in [config] and see if the value in the server log changes. Then you'll know you've got it.

Re: Advanced Server 7.3a-eco2 appending control char to end of text document?
Yes, you were correct. It should be:
[ODS2]
ESTIMATE_FILESIZE=NO
I better stop responding to Advanced Server questions. Clearly, I remember just enough to be dangerous ;^).
By the way, I'm only about 50% confident this will help _your_ problem.

Re: Advanced Server 7.3a-eco2 appending control char to end of text document?
Hi Brad,
I changed the pwrk.ini file and included the ods2 parameter as requested. I shutdown and restarted pathworks. No change. Still a control char at the bottom of the file. The PWRK$LMSRV_node.LOG files have not changed. It still has ODS2_ESTIMATE_FILESIZE:0.
i.e.
WAWAD1> sea PWRK$LMLOGS:pwrk$lmsrv*.log;0 ods2_est

PWRK$LMROOT:[LANMAN.LOGS]PWRK$LMSRV_WAWAD1.LOG;124
