This actually needs to be very automated. I have end users who will be hitting a customers web site and will be transferring this data as a file upload to the customer's machine. I want to automatically place this data in the IFS for our customers to access. Currently FTP is out of the question. 1.) Am I correct in believing that this request is a little bit weird? Fixed length as well as comma delimiting for EOR. 2.) I am looking at just placing the commas into the UDB file. I was just wondering if any of the CPYTO (PCD, STMF, IMPF) would do this. Thanks for your input. Michael Crump Saint-Gobain Containers 1509 S.

Client Access will transfer a file to pc in a fixed length format. Also, since cpytoimpf works well for comma delimited, you can use it, then a pc pgm to convert to fixed length. I use a shareware pc product from Bruce Guthrie, originally written for Dept of Commerce. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/2414 Also, you might just output a db400 file, with the commas, and ftp it? hth jim ----- Original Message ----- From: <mcrump@sgcontainers.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2001 10:20 PM Subject: CPYTOIMPF, CPYTOSTMF - create fixed length records with comma for EOR? > > > > > I have a request to create an ascii file for a customer of ours.
