RE: csv output from cpytoimpf

Wow, we finally have this working nicely, though using a different process
than in the message below. Even sucessfully FTP'd the results. Hell, all
I've ever used is WS_FTP before. (1st time using OS400's FTP). Thanks to
this list and good IBM docs.

But, the guy that needs to use these files in  M$  Access would love to be
able to have the field names in here. And CPYTOIMPF (to a SRCPF I create)
seems to strip these out. Is there a way to copy these or add the field
names?
