Do you have a dir/full on the template file?

It may be useful to FTP the file to the OpenVMS system in ASCII format.

Then do a dump command of the first few records.  Compare that with
a dump of the first few records of the one that was transfered by
SAMBA.

Ok.  It appears that your file is STM format, not STMCR.  That could make
a difference.

STM accepts either a CRLF or a LF as a record terminator.  Also FF and VT
are record terminators.

Forcing a STM file to be STMCR with the SET FILE will cause extra
line-feeds to be seen.

Forcing a STM file to be STMLF will cause extra Carriage returns to be
seen.

Good Luck,
