Chuck,

You wrote and my answers are imbedded:

"Does /tables/ mean to imply SQL TABLE?" No, since I thought DB2/400 was part of the IBM family of Relational Database Management Systems, tables is the correct wording for those objects that hold data in the normal sense. I know the old timers like to refer to them as files. I used to myself when I was on a S/38.

"Has an interactive query report been performed and data paged through to get a visual if the
transport seemed valid...?" No, I'm looking at the record count using PDM option 8 on source and target. I've also looked at the data via PDM and the browse function and the data looks normal. When I use a FIND on a few records, they are there at the target. Like I say, the target for some reason has MORE records than the source. An "interactive report" would produce the same info and there is WAY too much data to reconcile manually.

"... or an automated compare for example by join against a saved\restored copy of the same data?" No, but I could do that. I just hate messing with save/restore if I don't have to. I thought of making a copy of the table in the same LPAR, clear the table and run an INSERT SELECT and see what results I get.

"Any DECIMAL or BINARY types?" Probably some decimal but no binary. I can look further if needs be.

"Are they both i5/OS for the /source/ and /target/ partitions?" Yep, two different LPARs on the same machine.

"FTP using PUT or GET subcommand, on or to i5/OS?" Sure

"BINary or TEXT transport?" Text

"TRIM setting?" I don't set anything like that.

I've used FTP on this system for years and always with source and target being the same so I'm puzzled why there's a difference in some of the tables now.

Thanks,

Dave
