Re: File transfer

Have you thought of writing a quick and dirty conversion program that would
convert the data that you are receiving into the format of the information that
you want it to go into.

Subject:  File transfer




I am having difficulty uploading a text file into a DB2/400 file because of
the date and time fields in the DB2/400 file.

DSPFFD shows the date fields as 10 Alpha, even though the DDS has them
defined as type 'L'.  When I downloaded the file through Client Access to
create the .fdf file, the .fdf file shows them as 8 Alpha, and the resulting
downloaded file shows them as MM/DD/YY even though they are stored in the
DB2/400 file as YYYY-MM-DD.

I have tried using both FTP and Client Access, to no avail.  I have tried
tweaking the data, using different formats (the MM/DD/YY and YYYY-MM-DD, as
well as just numbers).

Any ideas?

Jim
