IFS problem

["Stoicescu, Adriana" <astoicescu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Scott,
I am quite sure you don't remember me from the Ocean annual conference,
but anyway I am asking for your help.
I have a program that creates excel files in XML format.
In order to create multiple worksheets I call the same program with some
parameters for start workbook, start worksheet and so on.
On the very first call of the program an IFS file is created and in the
subsequent calls I open the same file in append mode.
When large files are created the following happens:
1. The first file is created correctly
2. After the first open append and close, the first piece of the file is
altered.

If you are willing to help me, I can give you more details, like 'open'
statements or anything you might find useful.

Here it is the situation:
After the first call, before and after the file is closed , it looks
like this:
 <?xml version="1.0"?>
. . .
<Cell ss:StyleID="A01" ><Data ss:Type="String">13-JUL-09</Data></Cell>

<Cell ss:StyleID="A01" ><Data
ss:Type="String">YTO951928000</Data></Cell>  
. . . .

After the second open in append mode and write statement the file is
still OK.

After the second close the first piece is altered somewhere in the
middle and it looks like this:
. . .
<Cell ss:StyleID="A01" ><Data ss:Type="String">13-JUL-09</Data></Cell>

<Cellss:StyleID="A01" ><Data ss:Type="String">YTO951928000</Data></Cell>

. . .

The space between 'Cell' and 'ss' is removed.

Depending on the size of each piece, the removal of the space can happen
anywhere.
I tried with 2 or more spaces and they are all removed.
Looks like a %trim, but happens only in the previously created file when
the close statement is for append.

Does this scenario rings any bell?
Or can you point me to some documentation? Of course I have already
tried the IBM website.

Thanks in advance
