Could you make it a tab-delimited file and use CPYFRMIMPF with FLDDLM(*TAB)?

Subject: Copying a CSV file to iSeries as bar delim flat file

Hi,

I have a CL program that copies a CSV file an iSeries flat file using a
simple CPYFRMSTMF statement.

CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/HOME/CHARLIE/ARAMEX.CSV')
TOMBR('qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/IL201UFL.file/IL201UFL.mbr') MBROPT(*REPLACE)


The program then calls an RPG that parses the flat file, using column
headings to map.
It works... as long as there are no commas in the data!
But, alas, there are commas in the data. So parsing is an issue...

It was suggested I switch to bar delimiters, but as far as I can tell
CPYFRMSTMF doesn't have that option.
When I try to do a CPYFRMIMPF instead...

CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('/HOME/CHARLIE/ARAMEX.CSV') TOFILE(QTEMP/IL201UFL
IL201UFL) RCDDLM(*CRLF) FLDDLM('|') RPLNULLVAL(*FLDDFT) MBROPT(*REPLACE)


I get garbage. I've tried playing with the RCDDLM which has not helped. Is
it not translating the *ASCII to *EBCDIC?

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Charlie
