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

And pass the ammunition!

Yeah, I think you have to use the DEL command, which is a synonym for the
(has to be hard) IBM command RMVLNK.

The sign is a problem, being the left nibble of the last byte.

But I just noticed that it does not translate to anything form QSYS.LIB -
you need to do an additional CPY completely in the IFS, with DTAFMT(*TEXT),
to get ASCII. And, yes, Mildred, negative numbers show up funny.

But you're fine if you stay in EBCDIC.

Now, tell me where you got the REPLACE parameter from.  This wasn't
allowed on my v4r5 box.  Is there a PTF for it?  This isn't a killer; I
can attempt to delete the file before I run CPY to it.

Now I just need to find out what they want me to do with negative
numbers.  <sigh>

Thanks, Dan
