Re: CA TRANSFER OF CSV,BAI OR XLS FILES (& KEYVIEW)

Angie:
Why don't you communicate directly with the bank using your AS400.  There
are many good commercial products out there (TrailBlazer Systems, PA
Towsend) or most banks will do at least bisync and a bisync program is not
too hard to do.  The you could automate the whole thing on the 400 and not
have to worry about it.
Just a suggestion.
