Re: Client access file transfer from PC, more than 13000 records.

I have not seen CA create the file automatically with a predefined INITIAL
NUMBER OF RECORDS, unless you change the CRTPF's default value.  If you do not
want to do that, and you say that the application creates the file each time the
transfer runs, I presume that the file is moved or renamed after you upload the
data.  If that is the case, you can create a permanent physical file on the
AS400 with an INITIAL NUMBER OF RECORDS of *NOMAX.  Then, use CRTDUPOBJ to copy
this file to the LIBRARY/FILE you are using today for your process.

Your process will be like this:
1) Run your Full Data Upload Process in the normal way.
3) Automate the execution of using the CRTDUPOBJ every time your Full Data
Upload Process is completed.

In theory, by doing this you will be able to have a file that will be capable to
receive any file size and you will not have to change the CRTPF command.

I hope this will help you somehow.  Best regards!!

Good morning--

We are trying to determine if it's possible to upload a file from a PC that
contains more than 13000 records.  I know we can create the file up on the
host first and change the file size, but this application creates the host
file each time the transfer is run.  Is there a setting in Client Access to
specify the host file size?  Does the transfer process use the standard
CRTPF command?  If so, I suppose we can change the command default, but
that's not the preferred solution.
