I *am* using the CPYTOIMPF command. Problem is, I have a field with this data (no quote marks) "Item ""Category " "125000AAZ ""SOLENOIDS " CPYTOIMPF will make a CSV file form this, but it looks like: Item ,Category <CRLF> 125000AAZ ,SOLENOIDS <CRLF> I want the data to look like Item,Category<CRLF> 125000AAZ,SOLENOIDS<CRLF> Data transfer from the AS400 correctly trims spaces from character data when it downloads. CPYTOIMPF doesn't appear to (on my system V4R5). I could manually dump the data, trim spaces, and add commas into a single field work file that I could then run through CPYTOSTMF. I would rather not do that, if OS400 has a command to correctly trim the character data when creating a CSV file. Well, it doesn't know it's a CSV file, but if you change the DTAFMT parameter to *DLM, it should be smart enough to trim the data (being the whole point of delimiting it). I understand that using DTAFMT(*FIXED) would preserve trailing spaces, and it should.
