RE: FTP Text File to Source File Member

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian:
I tried to duplicate your problem on my AS400.  I started notepad and
created a file, with the word TEST.  I saved it as TEST.TXT, coding as ANSI.
Then I FTPed the file to my AS400 directly to a source PF member.  The only
FTP subcommand I entered was ASCII, then I did my PUT test.txt
library/file.member.
The source member looked fine, nothing like your example.  The only think I
can think of (pardon me if this is too simplistic), is the coding scheme (in
my case ANSI) that you save the file as in notepad.

I seem to be getting binary zeroes in the transferred data.
I just uploaded a text file into a source file member with the word
TEST in it.   I merely opened notepad typed TEST, saved the
file as TEST.TXT, and did the ftp transfer.

Here's what the hex view looks like--field names below.  The
text apears to start with the srcdta field.

 000100000000ÿþT E S T
 FFFFFFFFFFFFD8E0C0E0E
 000100000000FE3050203

 S     S     S
 R     R     R
 C     C     C
 S     D     D
 E     A     T
 Q     T     A

I know I can probably copy to a physical file
and do a convert source, but what's really frustrating
is that the IBM SQL Server Conversion Article tells you to
FTP your sql text file directly into your source file member.
Can this kind of transfer be done?

Ian
