Run a Query e.g. STRSQL and (select * from yourfile) but do a PF13 to change
the values ...
(dont forget to change them back)

After the query the selected data will be in a native 400 file which can be
ftp'd to you workstation as ascii.
But it seems you already have the file so just use ftp setting ascii by
typing ascii at the ftp prompt.

 F3=Exit     F12=Cancel

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!
