Hey, there's always IDDU. Rob Berendt ================== "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin "Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> <aparkhouse@mediaon cc: e.net> Fax to: Sent by: Subject: RE: S36EE Client Access File Transfer Question midrange-l-admin@mi drange.com 12/03/2001 12:52 PM Please respond to midrange-l Paul, As far as Client Access is concerned, the S36 Environment data file is just another AS/400 physical file. If the file is only used in RPG II programs, there is a chance that the file does not have fields defined. Since RPG II programs maintain their field definitions internally, the database may look like one flat field, which can contain packed, zone, and character data. If the file is keyed, only those fields necessary to define the key are required. Thus you should be able to process the file, but you may need to parse the fields yourself. Alternatively, the data can be copied into a completely defined physical file and the RPG II programs should still function as before and you would have the benefits of a defined database.
