"Because you only have 1 field in TEMPORARY, CPYFRMIMPF is copying the 1st "field" in the TXT file into the 1st field of the TEMPORARY file. If you create a TEMPORARY file with 5 or 6 fields, your CPYFRMIMPF will be successful." Steve, I wan to create the TEMPORARY file on the fly in QTEMP and be able to delete it there. Doing a DDS for this purpose will surprise me. Probably is the solution around it but I will leave it on the table and keep on searching. If there is no way out, we will test the approach. Right now, I do not believe is this complicated. All I want to do is read the first two or three positions of that text file I have in the IFS. Depending on that, I will take several steps. That is all I want to do. As a result, I thought that by having a physical file on the AS400, I can easily determine what the first 2-3 positions. I thought that just copying a file, conceptually speaking, to a database on the AS400 (without worrying about data content at all) was a "plug-n-play" thing... .... nah, nah, nah... (at least in my case)...
