Hi All,

I have the problem with concatenating the files which I get from REPORT FORM... TO FILE. What I need - to send the output to files, and then give the resulting file to another department to print on the mainframe printer.
REPORT FORM ...TO FILE ADDITIVE works only with ASCII clause. If I try to concatenate files with the DOS COPY command - the resulting file somehow looses the info

COPY file1.prn + file2.prn myreport.prn
with file sizes 51 K and 46 K gives the resulting file of 19 K in size.

For now I try to produce the resulting file with low-level file functions, but it is just overhead.
Anybody has any ideas?
