Chris,

The file exit record structure is listed in the Administrator's Guide.  The
file exit structure is the same as an user-exit event structure.  The structure
contains the event name, number, commethod, tcpip address, etc.  The main
reasons for writing the file exit event as a data structure are:

1:  Consistency with the user-exit
2:  Easier parse when the structure change in the future - you won't have
different line lengths, you simply read records.
     The fields themselves may change in size in the future, not just the
number of fields.

Subject: Rubbish in FILEEXIT file


     Hi all,

     I enabled some server events for the FILE receiver and now I see those
     events appear in the configured file. So far so good.

     When I try to grep on the file I get "Maximum line length exceeded".
     It looks like all events that occur between 'begin eventl file' and
     'end eventl file' are written on one line.
     I also note the appearance of a lot of null-characters in the file.
     Does anyone know why the server does not write one clean line per
     event?

     Server is 3.1.1.5 on AIX 4.2.1

     Thank you,

     Chris Roelofs
