If you have QShell installed (a very good idea, IMO, and no additional cost option of SS1), then you can

CRTPF SOMELIB/LSOUT RCDLEN(132)

The length needs to be sufficient to handle any of the file names you will get.

Then use the following to redirect the output of a file listing (names only) to the PF:

qsh cmd('ls /somepath > /qsys.lib/somelib.lib/lsout.file/lsout.mbr')

This can be executed from a CL *PGM or a command line.

Thanks for the reply Marty.  I did end up having them place the file on the
IFS and then using CPYFRMSTMF to grab the files and place them in to a
wrapped file on the native AS400 DB.

The only way to list the files in an IFS directory, that I found, was DSPLNK
to print output and then copy that spool file to a real file to be read.
Not exactly pretty, but there did not seem to be any sort of 'DSPFD to
outfile' type of option available for the IFS.  It does seem to work fine,
just not as 'pretty' as I'd like.

'Go-Live' is in about an hour so the true proof will come out then :-)

Thanks again,
Brian
