File attributes after network transfer?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We are transferring files from an Oracle database on a Sun machine to RMS
files on an Alpha. We create text files which are copied to a PC then to the
Alpha. The problem is that some of the files on the alpha have a linefeed
between each record and not a
carriage return and a linefeed. Is there any easy way to change the linefeed
to a carriage return and a linefeed? I thank you for any help that you can
give.
 

The Answer is :

 
  Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, as information on
  the transfer mechanism, and on specific file data and file attributes
  will likely be required.
 
  This may be as simple as resetting the file attributes with a SET
  FILE/ATTRIBUTE command, as transfering the file with the appropriate
  file attributes (ASCII or binary), or it may require alteration of
  the data in the file using a text editor or other similar tool.
