RE: Output the contents of an IFS directory to a flat file

Paul, on our website, in the download section, there is a DIR command that
will display the contents of an IFS directory to the screen, *print or
*outfile.
I have used the command to create another command that is not posted, but I
will email if you like, called CMBDIRDTA that will allow you to specify the
directory.  Here is a screen shot of the command.

                    Combine Directory Data to PF (CMBDIRDTA)

 

 Type choices, press Enter.

 

 From Directory Name  . . . . . .

 

 To AS400 Physical File . . . . .                 Name

   Library: . . . . . . . . . . .     *CURLIB     Character value

   Member:  . . . . . . . . . . .     *FIRST      Character value

 Create physical file . . . . . .   *NO           *YES, *NO

 File size if CRTFILE *YES  . . .                 Character value

 Delete directory data  . . . . .   *NO           *YES, *NO

Subject: Output the contents of an IFS directory to a flat file



I'm working on a method to automate the use of the GUNZIP utility Scott
Klement pointed me to. Simply put, when I receive a bunch of these zipped
files into a directory, I need to unzip them, and use the CPYFRMSTMF command
to place them into a flat file. I would like to know if there is a way to
output these file names into a file that could be read by a CL program
(sorta like DSPFD permits using an outfile). DSPLNK wil only permit display
to the screen and to a spool file. I really don't want to mess with CPYSPLF.

TIA
