RE: Restoring a .txt file






I don't specify anything,  on the cpyffrm prompts I leave it as *dlm
coming back in.  I don't know where or how to define this flddfnfile,
on client access you can define a file spec and store on the harddrive
but how to I define one directly on the as400?

Angela,

What are you specifying in the FLDDFNFILE parm of the CPYFRMIMPF?  How
are the fields specified in the FLDDFNFILE?
