I added a 1 byte filler to the end of the record definition and it now works
fine.  The trick is one can't 'see' the explicit CR in VI, MORE, CAT or
other UNIX tool but PH can.

Slightly off-topic, you can see the CR character in unix if you use od -c
<filename> - it appears as '\n'.  It will also show you any other
unprintable characters in the data, so it's quite useful for spotting
problem areas in the data (on the occasions when your "fixed length" records
turn out not to be).
