Re to RudiC
No. No, RudiC. I would never disrespect this forum with a Doze problem. The only reason I have to deal with it in the first place is the final results come via email and open in Excel. I will have to verify if unix2dos is on any of the servers, predominantly they are AIX. The rest are RedHat. But as you probably are aware, in todays corporate gardens, not everything is how we used to like it to be.

But I think that as intriguing as it sounds, If I can locate one server in 450 +- that has it, you may have a good suggestion. I can run the script from there.

Have you tried the steps, like I suggested, and saw the output in Notepad++? If not, please do. It would help immensely if I can get an outside view, so that this does not look like it is environmentally the issue.

Let me know if you are up to that challenge. If not I need to locate someone who can. It also may be a new bug, that until now, no one has cared that the format is funky.

Any ways, I truly appreciate your input and advice (yes I will re-attempt to use \r\n).
