RE: FTP and numbers

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have CA/400 for Win95/NT use the 'Data Transfer from AS/400'
function to 'download' the file from the QSYS.LIB file system to a
network drive that you have mapped to a directory in the AS/400's IFS.
Select the option to download the file as CSV (Comma Separated Variable)
format.  You can them FTP the file from your IFS directly using the
correct FTP subcommands (which are not presently floating around in my
brain). !
