I'm reading a EBCDIC coded COBOL file that has a binary field S9(9) comp, using the CFF stage. As as record delimiter the UNIX LF is used. Everything works fine until a record is encountered where the binary field contains a hex 0A value which is interpreted a a LF.
How can I circumvent this error? Because whatever hex value I use for a record delimiter, this value will appear in the binary field some day.
Lifefeed in binary COBOL field causes read err in CFF stage

Sorry, didn't mean to imply it had been discussed here although it could very well have been. Been too long for me to recall that or whatever in the heck we did to get around that but it would have been with Server jobs and not using the CFF stage.
Hopefully that added bit of detail will spur some other PX folks with CFF experience to chime in.
