   Help!

 

    I have a .txt file that was saved from an as/400 inventory file.  It
was saved as a fixed format file.   I now want to bring that .txt file
back to the as400 to run queries on it.   However since it was fixed
there is not comma delimiters etc.   So I copied it back to a flat file
on the as400 and then tried using the cpyfrmimpf command to copy it back
into its regular format.   The problem occurs because there is numeric
data in the file.  Therefore the copy crashes because I am trying to
copy  17.00  - which is beign treated as a character field to a numberic
field.

 

The command used to copy the data to the .txt file was:

 

 

CPYTOIMPF  FROMFILE(Mylib/MyFile) +                           

             TOSTMF('home/yearend/yearend2004/MyFile.t +

             xt') MBROPT(*REPLACE) +                       

             STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*CRLF) +          

             DTAFMT(*FIXED) STRDLM(*NONE)    

 

 

Can anyone help me to restore this to its original data formats?

 

Thanks!
