Re: Getting a File to a PC with No Client Access

You can do the whole thing with ETU in one command over twinax with no
problem.

The Main menu displays when you issue the command WSMENUS if PCTRANLIB is in
your library list.


The FROM3XB command is what you want to transfer from AS400 to a PC:
(FROM3XB).  Use the *BASICS translation type to get a .csv file that Excel
likes.

 File name: . . . . . . . . . . .                 Name
   Library name:  . . . . . . . .     *LIBL       Name, *LIBL
 Member name: . . . . . . . . . .   *FILE         Name, *FILE, *FIRST,
*LAST...
 *SAVE file type ?: . . . . . . .   *NO           *YES, *NO
 Strip seq/date field ?:  . . . .   *NO           *YES, *NO
 Type of translate ?: . . . . . .   *TEXT         *NO, *TEXT, *DIF,
*BASICS...
 Translation table file name: . .   TRANSLATE     Name, TRANSLATE, MACTAB
   Library name:  . . . . . . . .     *LIBL       Name, *LIBL
 Member name: . . . . . . . . . .   ETOA1         Name
 Record length (0=existing):  . .   *FILE         0-9989, *FILE
 DDS or F & I file name:  . . . .   *NONE         Name, *NONE, *DDS
   Library name:  . . . . . . . .     *LIBL       Name, *LIBL
 Member name: . . . . . . . . . .   *FILE         Name, *FILE, *FIRST, *LAST
 Qualified file name: . . . . . .

I have the manual in .doc format if you want it.
