I then use the following command: put /ifsreports/jeff/corbtch.xls and get the following error:No such path or directory: /ifsreports/jeff/corbtch.xls. When I check the IFS using the WRKLNK command, the file is in the directory.
You have unprintable characters (most likely trailing spaces) at the end of the filename in the IFS. When you use WRKLNK to see what's in the directory, you see the filename, because the unprintable characters don't show on the screen, you don't see them.
When you use the PUT command to send the file, it can't find it because you didn't supply those trailing spaces.
Change your RPG program to trim the spaces off of the filename when you create it. In other words, don't do:
midrange.com
x = open(myvar: flags: mode)
but instead, do:
x = open(%trimr(myvar): flags: mode)
Unless you're using a VARYING variable, you must put the %trimr() on the
open() call itself. If you do it elsewhere in the calcs, the spaces will
be added back on by RPG, since fixed-length fields are just that -- fixed
length. SOMETHING has to occupy the rest of the field.
