Re: CPYTOIMPF and CSV Format

[Joel Cochran <jrc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken, 

I read this in digest so you've probably already received some responses
about using CPYTOIMPF.  If it would help (and if you are V5R1+) I have a
CPYFTOCSV command utility in my free library.  It gives you several
options for creating .csv files and does trim each of the fields so you
don't get the extra blanks.  Check out the doc here:

Visit the download center at my website http://www.rpgnext.com to
download the library.

HTH,
