Hi,
I am implementing a function to automatically fix 2091 errors, everything worked until I packed the file and the file was one char less than normal.
It is only a problem when trying to cleanup partial records (Control Characters) appended to the end of the file.

>Oh you're talking about the old FEOF marker (Ctrl+Z). It doesn't have any use and not available on all tables (and I really don't have an idea under what circumstances it's added).
