    I cut and pasted the 2 lines of the STOCKREQ.CPY file into a file and tried to import them.
    1) I could not tell from the doc what columns the text needs to be in.. I think it is column 8
    2) I get
      parsing......
       The import wizard has not found any valid stuctures declaration - click OK
       I get the same pop up a second time which looks like a bug


    I am onUbuntu 

    regards

    Hey Colin,

    It's worth checking your end of line characters on the copybook.

    I remember running the importers on Ubuntu for another product and without the correct end of line characters the copybook would fail to parse correctly.

    Kind Regards,

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for your comments.   If what you suggest is true, it sounds like a bug to me!  I cut and pasted from the documentation.

    How do I check?

    I uploaded it to z/OS as ASCII and it looks ok in a sequential file
    linux cat command looks OK.

    regards

    Colin
