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

A followup:  The representation of negative numbers is a problem.  The
negative sign must float on the left of the number.  I.e.:

AS/400 file (CODE=4A, AMOUNT=8,2S, DESC=20A)
CODE AMOUNT DESC
<--><------><------------------>
AAAA00012378just a test
BBBB0000987Rthis has a neg amt.
CCCC00000001just a penny

Required resulting pc text file:
AAAA    123.78just a test         <crlf>
BBBB    -98.79this has a neg amt. <crlf>
CCCC       .01just a penny        <crlf>

Note that the <crlf> is fixed after the entire description field.

Unless someone has an idea, it's looking more like an RPG program and
using John Carr's "write-to-IFS" RPG solution.

Still hoping, Dan
