relatively small.  One line per employee, per week, basically.

Since the PC is creating the data, it should drive the process. I would use the FTP client on the PC to send the file to the iSeries and then use quote rcmd to kick off the CLP.

Or if you don't want to copy/duplicate the data, maybe you could use QNTC so 
the iSeries could access the PC file system.

How big is the file in question?

What is the best, most graceful way to import PC data and then run a CLP program?

It occurs to me that there are several ways to do this, and a discussion might prove educational and fun.

The person runs a PC program, creating a PC file. This file must go to the iSeries once a week, and then be processed by a CLP program/

Ideas? Suggestions?  Fantastic solutions?
