Re: Hex Value 1A (ascii(sub)) triggers #end-file flag

Jason -

1.  'sub' probably stands for subscript.  (Just a guess!)
2.  Don't know.
3.  If you are reading each line into separate fields,
     try reading the line into 1 field, then substring
     it out into separate fields.

i.e., instead of
        read 1 into $name:30 $address:50 #rate:2

try
        read 1 into $BigString
        do Substring-BigString
                (let $name = substr($BigString,1,30)... etc.)

Hope this helps.
