Depending on how it is sent, you may have to encode the file before attaching to the mail.

Waz, thanks you for responding. Do you have a JCL example on how to do it? Also do we need a particular encoding type to achieve this?

Unfortunately, I am working on UNIX, and have not done this on MF.
On Unix we UUENCODE the file and attach it, you could also encode it as Base 64, this is a bit more complex, as you need to create boundaries in the email.
