Hi.

We have a program written in Java using JTopen 5.0 which transports files with ftp.

I have understood that a traditional AS/400 file can be either externally described, or not. (I can see externally described files as tables with JDBC, the others not).

The problem is it is necessary to use CPYTOSTMF with one format, and CPYTOIMPF with the other, and we would like to check before hand instead of running first CPYTOSTMF, and if that fails with a "cannot use this kind of file" message, running CPYTOIMPF on it.

Is there a way to check programmatically before hand? I tried looking in the toolbox source and found by looking at IFSFile.isReadOnly() that this might be stowed away in the "fixedAttributes" field in IFSCachedAttributes class, but there is only defined FA_READONLY and FA_HIDDEN to hint the meaning of this field. (1 and 2 respectively).
I would appreciate any pointers.

Best regards,
