Title: Tilde delimited fields in a PC file - how to upload & convert fields to AS/400 physical file

CPYFRMIMPF can do the job. You will have to build the DDS and create the physical file on the AS/400 side though. Then use CPYFRMIMPF to copy the data into it.

Subject: Tilde delimited fields in a PC file - how to upload & convert fie lds to AS/400 physical file

An example record:

40354~KMART STORE# 37~3665 HWY 6~~DALLAS~TX~77478~~~~~713-980-8888~~~4362~~100~3~0~0~~0~

Are there any utilities to split a file with records as shown above into an AS/400 PF? I would like the tilde's gone, where each tilde acts as the delimiter to begin a new field.

Can Client/Access do this job by itself?

What other options to I have. Does anyone know of a magazine article with a free utility program? Other options?

Must I build the DDS by hand? I have a listing of field names and lengths.

The data is from a query tool on a Unix box.

Thanks!
