    Is anyone transmitting an interface file to Mosby's Skills?

    I have a very simple extract file we are trying to send to them.  It is basically a tab-delimited file with "lf" at the end of each line.   I am including a "lf" character (hex 0A) at the end of each line but they are picking this up as an invalid character.   We have tried transmitting the file in binary format, auto format and via a pgp file and nothing seems to work.

    Would be interested in knowing how you addressed this issue if you are using them.

    Thank you

      I think you need a carriage return line feed, which would be 0D 0A.

        I've tried that as well... and they still say there is an invalid character. They are asking for an ASCII 10 character instead of a Hex 0A

          ASCII 10 is Hex 0A.

          You may wish to first open your file with something like Notepad++ (assuming a Windows environment) and flip on the option to view all characters to ensure the file is acutally be dumped correctly with the LF character (and just it) on the end of the line.

          If it is, then either your transfer program is mangling it or they are having difficulties on their end. Have them open the file they received in a similar manner as you did and verify what character is on the end of the line.

          In theory transfering in TEXT mode via FTP/SFTP on a correctly configured server should 'automagicly' convert the file to have whichever EOL format the receiving system uses.
