    One can strip CR/LF from ASCII text using a POSIX shell.
    For example, in OS400 QSH:
    > cat outfile.txt
    line1
    line2

    $
    > cat outfile.txt | tr -d '\r\n'
    line1line2$

    I believe we only use DOS Random for both upload and download capabilities. I am not aware of anybody using DOS Random type 2.

    Couple questions:
    1. There are two Dos Random formats that were supported in IBM i Access for Windows: Dos Random & Dos Random Type 2. Which format do you need?

    2. Do you need support for both downloading from IBM i to a PC in that format AND uploading from a PC to IBM i? Or is download sufficient?
