Client Access File Transfer must be initiated from the client.  You should
be able to set up a remote command in Client Access as well.  The remote
command could initiate your CPYSPLF.  You could batch this on the PC with
the file transfer command using WinBatch or something like it.  You could
set up the batch on the Windows scheduler if you have it running.
Maintaining a Client Access overnight can be problematic, but it's all
do-able.

If you configure a shared IFS directory in Netserver you can:

CPYSPLF to a data file.
CPYTOSTMF or CPYTOIMPF from the data file to a text file in the IFS
directory, specifying *PCASCII for the code page.

The people on the PC side can access the IFS directory directly from their
PC's on the network.

The two AS/400 CPY statements can be put in a CL and scheduled.  The users
may access the text file from the share about as easily as if it were on
their C: drives.

Subject: Getting Data from iSeries to PC


Hello,

I have been given the task of getting the data from spool files on the
iSeries to PC's.

I have used CPYSPLF to turn the spool file into a data file.  Then I have
been able to use Client Access File Transfer utility to bring it down to a
PC.  I have saved the .TTO file of the file transfer and can run that to
download the file.

I would like to automate the process so that it could run either when the
people on the PC side want to run it or when the someone on the iSeries side
decides it is time to download.  That is I am not sure which side will
initiate the download of the file to the PC.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish these tasks?

Thanks in advance,
Bob
