John,

Either;
On the CPYFRMIMPF you can specify the field delimiter.

Or:
Open in Excel, save it as an csv-file (delimiter the semicolon), copy to
IFS and use the command.

Could you also tell us what reason code 98 is, Press F1 on the message.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

I have received a file from an outside agency that chokes CPYFRMIMPF.
The fields are pipe delimited. I have looked at the raw file and don't
see anything REALLY obvious - the file is several hundred lines long. I
can open this thing in Excel just fine, but there is no option to save it
with pipe delimiters. There is a free text portion, which, I suspect,
prompted the need to use the pipe as a delimiter.

The agency has converted this file multiple times, and the results are the
same. Other files are just fine. When I attempted to use an error file,
I got nothing in the created member.

Is this why some of you loathe CPYFRMIMPF? Any suggestions on how to
isolate and fix the error(s) causing CPYFRMIMPF to choke? Not sure I have
the time to write the program to split this thing apart. Can SQL be used
in some way to identify or clean up the file?
