eof not recognized in progress 9.1D / linux

[ceolivas]

We are exporting a text file from progress, then we transfer the file via FTP but when other progress program in SCO tries to read it the program does not process the last record, it seems that every box is using a differente oef character.

Any ideas what we can do?

When you export the file, you should make sure that the file ends in a recognizable eof-character. Explicitly put a skip at the end of your exported file.

Progress only imports data that can be read as 'a line of data'. So each line in an exported file should end in a newline character. So if you put a skip after your last line, this line should be imported also.

(this can be found in the help file about the import statement).
