RE: PC/AS400 Transfers from AS400

In my case (I was not the original poster) I find that FTP is having a
problem with my negative zoned-decimal numbers, and Client Access transfers
do not.  The only other way I have found to handle these negative
zoned-decimals cleanly is CPYTOIMPF followed by a CPY to fix the code page.
Does anyone else know of a better way?

Thanks,

Couldn't you create a batch file on the PC that would pull with FTP from the
AS/400 to the PC?  Then the only static IP address you need is the AS/400s.
Only problem is they need to be text files.. no packed data, numeric may
even get messed up.

With a batch file, the user simply double clicks an icon on their desktop
and voila.... instant FTP.
