Re: cpyfrmimpf null dilemma ?

Thanks Art,
Here's what I did and it worked great.

1. Made an AS400 DB file that had ALWNULL as the keyword for each field.
2. CPYFMRIMPF from the comma delimited file to the AS400 DB file.
3. Wrote an RPG program that would fix the nulls using the XLATE RPG opcode
and specified ALLNULLS(*YES) on the compile of this program.
4. Process finito!

You all are fantastic and I always appreciate your indispensable help!
Tim
