RE: creating an ascii text file

["Wills, Mike N. (TC)" <MNWills@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about creating a file that is the length of your file you want
outputted. Then using a program, create the records exactly as you need them
using a very large eval statement. Then transfer the file to the PC.

Subject: creating an ascii text file


    I am trying to create an ascii text file from an as/400 file.   I have
tried using CA file transfer,  cpytoimpf,  and excel.   I need the file to
either have eachfield separated with a comma and text fields with single
quotes   OR   field delimiter is an * and no quotes on text fields.   The
cpytoimpf doesn't like the *   or the single quote as the string delimeter.
I would like to automate this process.  I am using the newly created file on
a Dunn & Brad Ram product.

Any help???

Thanks!
