RE: CPYTOIMPF and CSV Format

Ken

On the size issue, it might work to compress it in IFS. With all the blanks, this ought to compress hugely. <g> jar can do it, right? IBM distributes a version of gzip for iSeries, but it has size limits. (It is also not the fastest thing on 3 legs.) However, qshell has a split function. And cat can be used to reconstitute the file.

Maybe?

This set of files must be processed four time in the next few weeks so
optimizing the environment is of great importance. The biggest issue, at
this point, is the size of the resulting data. I haven't been able to get
an actual byte count yet on the entire set of data, but I am seeing
significant savings when these padded spaces are removed.
