Re: cpytostmf file layout problem -- MIDRANGE-L

A couple questions/comments -

1. Where are you getting the 132 record length? Can I assume it is when you take option 5 in WRKLNK? Often you are better off looking at IFS files with a Windows app like TextPad

2. I'm not sure what you mean by preserving the format - can you say more about what you expect or hope to see?

3. Remember that IFS stream files are not record-based. You CAN specify a record-delimiter that is appropriate for Windows or Unix, however, but this will be honored only in an app on the respective OS.

Thanks

I have a flat file with a record lenghth of 8219 in an AS/400 library
(MCOLIB) I want to copy to a stream file in the directory /QOpenSys/.  When
ever I try using the cpytostmf or cpytoimpf I copies the file to the
directory and then uses a record length of 132 and does not preserve the
format.  I have tried using default perameters and different ccid's for
qascii and all that seems to work is a record length of 132.  Please help
thanks
