Hi, I'm using a 3rd party software to get an ascii file from another system directly into an AS400 file. However, when I use dsppfm I only see a highlighted "box" of the data with a couple of &'s scattered in the highlighted box. How do I convert the file so that dsppfm views it correctly?
The way I'm reading this, your third party software is doing the whole job, and it's not converting it properly. So the question is... How do you get the 3rd party software to do proper translation?
There's no way we can answer that, since you haven't even told us what the 3rd party software is. (Even if you did, there's a fair chance that we're not familiar with the software!) You might try contacting the vendor of the 3rd-party software, to see if this is something they can do.
If they can't... You can do translation by copying it from the original file to a different file using the CPY command. For example:
midrange.com
CPY OBJ('/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/orig.file/orig.mbr') +
TOOBJ('/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/target.file/target.mbr') +
FROMCCSID(*PCASCII) +
TOCCSID(*OBJ) +
DTAFMT(*TEXT)
You should pre-create the destination file with the appropriate EBCDIC
CCSID.
