Re: File conversion

     It's a little time-consuming, pesky, etc, but you always have the 
     option of sort of MANUALLY building the "delimited" file using Query.  
     For onesie-twosie type files it is bearable.  We haven't had any 
     large-scale projects that required us to build an automated process.  
     In Query, just define 1 big output field and concatenate the fields 
     together with the appropriate delimiters:
     
     output1 = '"'||alpha1||'",||numeric1||','
     
     output2 = output1||'"'||alpha2||'"'
     
     output  = output1||output2
     
     ... and so on.
     
     Otherwise free-up a programmer for a few hours and you should have it.

Does anyone have an RPG program that will convert an AS/400 external file 
to a comma delimited file they would care to share.
