Re: AS/400 app FTPs file to IFS???

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To FTP from QSYS.LIB to IFS, use

ftp loopback

This puts you on the same machine.

But CPYTOIMPF RCDDLM(*CRLF) DTAFMT(*FIXED) will give you the fixed length.
I don't remember if you can specify the STMFCODPAG in V4R5, but I think
there's a PTF for that.

And CPYTOPIMPF works with packed and binary fields, too. It converts them
as needed.
