Re: FTP AS400 to PC: unpack numeric fields

Before FTPing the file, use something like CPYTOIMPF to convert the file
to a more PC-friendly format...

Makes sense when you think about it, FTP is for transferring files, and
CPYTOIMPF, CPYTOSTMF, etc are for changing them to PC friendly formats.
That way, if you want to store things in PC format on the AS/400, you can,
just don't convert them.   If you want to transfer AS/400 files to another
AS/400, you don't have to convert them to PC format and back again... if
you want to use a different file transfer method, you can still convert
them and not use FTP, etc...
