Re: Transferring files to and from AS/400 and an attached win2000 server

One of your choices is VARPG. I keep mentioning the VARPG choice because you
can do what you want to do all in one program. 
 
VARPG F-specs allow both the iSeries files and the PC files to be accessed
with F specs you already understand. The C specs are also just like you
already know as are the O specs. The PC input and output files would be
program described of course, and are processed sequentially. It works, is
simple, and VARPG is free to you.
 
The program would run on the Intel box but it can be started from the
iSeries easily enough.

Subject: Transferring files to and from AS/400 and an attached win2000
server
 
I am hoping to initiate a process on an AS/400 running V4R5 that can
retrieve a file from an attached Windows 2000 server, process that
information and create new files on the AS/400 and then transfer those
newly created files to the Windows 2000 server.
 
Do I need to go through IFS?
Can I FTP the files back and forth? If so do I need to translate EBCDIC to
ASCII?
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Bob
