Pat...I do this stuff all the time using Scott's fine tutorial based code.
Contact me off line if you want a program sample.

I would suggest using Scott Klement's IFS tutorial. Generate the entire
file with RPG on the i. Send it directly from the i and avoid the manual
labor of the file transfer.

Subject: CSV file with a header
Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



I have been asked to create a CSV file to send to an outside company.

They sent me a standard file layout and I created the file just fine using
a file transfer request using Access.

Got a note back and now they want a "header" record inserted as
the first record of the file. This header record is nothing but column
heading with descriptions.

Since the file has fixed field lengths, I can't just put a dummy record
there to create this stupid header.

I need to be able to store the CSV header record somewhere and copy it
as the first record on each file transfer.

Any ideas.
