Sam,
        You could do a CPYTOIMPF (if on V4R2 or later) to another temp file
and then ftp those temp files.  Or you could do a CPYTOPCD from the DB2 file
to a text file in a folder.  The PC could have a drive mapped to the folder
and read the files directly from there.  We have a totally automated process
that goes the opposite direction.  The PC saves text files on a drive mapped
to a folder and a job on the 400 reads those files and updates PF's
accordingly.
