Re: Physical File Data in a Text file !!!

If the physical file does not have packed numeric fields you can use FTP
directly. It can convert the EBCDIC data to ASCII. Also, sometimes it is
easy to write an RPG or Cobol program to do the unpacking and formatting
for you. If you are interested in a commercial product we've just
released an application that can convert a file to Excel CSV or fixed
ASCII format. After the conversion you can use FTP to send to a user's
PC. You can see more about this at:

Hope this helps!
