VAX to AS/400 packed field conversion problem

Hey gang, trying to transfer files from a VAX system to the 400. We
currently have a process in place that converts the packed fields on the
VAX to signed numerics, then we FTP them ASCII and finally, copy from
the flat file on the 400 to the database on the 400 that contains packed
fields. Is there a simpler way to do this, I was playing around with the
*TBL option on the CPYFRMSTMF (trying to copy to IFS as is), and trying
to research what character set ID I would need to convert to (is VAX
ascii?), but this does not seem to work?

Any ideas how to simplify?

Thanks,
Uros
