Collaborated to create a DWNLDDBF command that transfers any AS/400 
database file to a .CSV document in a shared folder from a batch job. 

To do the CSV conversion, it reads a template cycle program RPG member, 
replaces keywords and uses WRTSRC to create source and compile a QTEMP 
program that calls another standard module to convert each field. 

This allows results of reports to be delivered overnight as downloads by 
scheduled jobs, with results waiting in the user's folder in the morning.

In all of history, there has been only one cure for error discovered, 
one partial antidote against making grand, foolish mistakes. One remedy
against self-deception. That antidote is criticism. Alas, criticism has
always been what human beings - especially leaders - hate most to hear.
