Subject: RE: output of CPYTOIMPF?

John,

You can go directly from I to Z via ftp. Beware of Date fields and
packed fields. Depending on which language the Z is going to use, it
may not be able to handle it.

When I do this, I make sure all data is character or zoned. I have
consistently moved data from the I to Z with this technique.

The CPYTOIMPF you can "format" with the type of delimiter or fixed
format you want. You can also define the end of record delimiter you
want to use.

I would go directly from I to Z rather than CPYTOIMPF.


Sharon Wintermute

Many thanks. I've relayed your answer to the IBM-MAIN forum, where the
original question was asked.
