RE: VAX to AS/400 packed field conversion problem

Clare,

Thanks, but we are actually trying to do this without any programs,
using maybe an FTP switch (I know there is an option somewhere to
specify a CCSID when transferring files, just cannot remember where...)
or through CL commands on the AS/400 and possibly a table that would
convert the character set ID of the VAX to EBCDIC when doing a
CPYFRMSTMF...

Regards,
Uros

You probably need a little RPG pgm that reads in the fields and outputs
them packed.
