Len,

I have a customer who fought with the bank for months over the same issue,
and the bank refused to budge for him. Apparently the bank views him as too
small a customer.

We ended up using CPYTOSTMF to place the file into the IFS. Here's the code
snippet:

ELSE CMD(CPYTOSTMF +
FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/pospayapf.file+
/pospayapf.mbr') TOSTMF(&STMFILE) +
STMFOPT(*REPLACE) ENDLINFMT(*FIXED) +
STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII))

Subject: Client Access Transfer

Greetings,

I'm using client access transfer (version 5.9) to take a flat file from our
iSeries that is 300 characters long and place it on our network so the end
user can upload it to the bank for their Positive Pay System. The bank's
specs of the file are as follows:

Must be 300 characters regardless of the data length, in the 301st position
there is a carriage return, there can not be any blank records, and it must
be uploaded as a .TXT file.

I am able to give them the correct length (with spaces padded at the end of
the record if needed), when the last record in the file is encountered it is
adding the carriage return and end of file indicator. I can control if the
end of file indicator is included or not but either way it is causing
(according to the bank) a blank record at the end.

I was using textpad to eliminate the "last (blank) record" and then saving
the file as a .txt. The bank will not accept any files that are manually
modified.

Can someone point me in the right direction as how this can be accomplished
using Client Access Transfer, or if it is not possible any ideas on how to
give the bank what they are asking for.

Thank you
