RE: Client Access Data Transfer Options -- MIDRANGE-L

Thank You! That was exactly what I was looking for! Once again, this amazing
list pays for itself !!!

Actually the code I needed was 

OPTIONS     2:/.HMSISON11


I needed to default to ISO date format, but you had the right idea.  I
created a tto file with the desired options and compared it to the default
transfer file.  One copy, one paste and I was done.  Thanks again.

                Change it in the default transfer PC5250$A.TTO, here's the
code for YMD if
                you
                want to edit the file in notepad:

                OPTIONS     2:/.HMSYMDN11

                We recently completed an upgrade for Y2K compliance.  All of
our date fields
                are now stored in ISO format.  When running file transfers,
I began getting
                the message   "Error occurred in the OS/400 database server
code".  I was
                finally able to initiate file transfers by changing the date
format on the
                data transfer dialog window under the Format Options button.
The date
                format defaults to MDY with a slash separator.  Is there a
way to globally
                configure Data Transfer to default to a different date
format.  Changing the
                date once and re-saving the file in stored transfers is no
big deal, but
                it's really a pain to have to go in and change the date
format in every
                adhoc file transfer.  This should also be transparent for
end users that
                really have no interest in how or why the date format has
changed.
                Suggestions???
