RE: VAX to AS/400 packed field conversion problem

["Uros Davidovic" <Uros_Davidovic@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
