Re: Best way to provide conversion data

DSPFFD is probably a decent choice for documenting the field info...

Another choice would be to use iNav to retrieve the SQL source for the
tables.

As far as data extraction, FTP is probably NOT going to work for you as it
doesn't handle packed data.

IBM's CPYTOIMPF is a quick and dirty solution...

Mostly depends on what the vendor can handle vs. what you are comfortable
providing.

Hi,
We are evaluating replacing one of our AS400 applications with a different
platform....not sure which one yet.
This particular application has one library but many files that drives the
different application modules. Other than the dspfile command...is
there a better way to provide the vendor our files with field information
and what data the file holds?
Also, if this vendor is selected.......when they request our data for
conversion.....should the entire library be sent to them or should the
files be sent individually? FTP I presume??
Have I confused everyone? :)
