Hi guys,

I'm looking at a job that needs to transfer a CSV file from
a DB400 file to a Win2K pro PC for eventual sending to
a number of Retail stores via s/ware on the Win2K Pro PC.

It has been currently done via ODBC into access, then moved
via a Mapped drive method - very messy to me and damn
slow  - mainly im told because a RMTCMD wouldnt work
because of Conflicting OCX type problems?

I've been using the NTFS file system to do jobs like that when they need to
be initiated from the iSeries side. There are wrappers for the needed API
functions in the Unix module of iseries-toolkit
http://sourceforge.net/projects/iseries-toolkit/ that make it really easy
to do. You need to adopt a user profile that has an identical password on
both systems, but the toolkit also contains a Usrprf module that makes that
easy enough. I've got a generic example if you're interested.
