RE: CPYTOIMPF

Hello,

If my details are like this:
Library: eiqry01
File: itemmaster

Servername: 10.12.12.2
Sharefolder: shared


OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(eiqry01/itemmaster) +
MBR(YOURSCRIPT)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(mpsilva/itemmaster)
FTP RMTSYS(10.12.12.2/shared)
DLTOVR FILE(*ALL)

Is that command right?

About my script, is a script language file such in windows? Is so, where
do I save it? Any library?



Thanks once again,
Marco



Obrigado,
Marco Silva

Then in my opinion (for what its worth) is to revisit FTP

within a CL program

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(YOURLIB/QTXTSRC) +
MBR(YOURSCRIPT)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(YOURLIB/FTPLOG)
FTP RMTSYS(&SITE)
DLTOVR FILE(*ALL)

where &SITE is the IP address of the windows 2000 server

then in the member YOURSCRIPT, within QTXTSRC within the library YOURLIB
is
the following

username password
CD directory-name
put yourlib/filename pcfilename.txt
quit


You may have to do some tweaking of the member YOURSCRIPT
but you can play around yourself

on the command line type
ftp '999.999.999.999'
press Enter
where 999.999.999 is the ip address (same as &site)
enter the username as in the script and press Enter
enter the password as in the script and press Enter
you are now in the windows 2000 server
type
?
and press enter
This is the help
Good luck

Hi.

Yes that helps, but the problem is that the file has to be copied
automatically.

I already have the query running at a specific time. Now I need that
the
file (witch is the result of the query) move/copy automatically to a
folder that the windows application can reach it, in order that it can
read the file.

The problem with the iSeries is that it's always asking for the
password. If it could be possible to eliminate the password part,
maybe
it could be possible to schedule the windows to run the *dtf.



Thanks,
Marco Silva

Hi Marco
if you are using Client Access, you can click on Actions at the top of
the
Client Access window and choose Receive file from host
In this window you have your i-series portion and your pc portion
Does this help?

Hi guys,

Thanks for your time.

I'm trying to copy a file from:
Library: eiqry01
File: itemmaster

I need to transform this file to a txt file in order that another
application can read it.

Well my first idea was to copy this file directly to a windows 2000
server share, but if it's not possible, maybe if I can transform
this
file (eiqry01/itemmaster) or copy into another library that can be
accessible from windows.


Is there's another way to turn accessible this file so a windows
application can read, please tell me.


I also heard about FTP, but with that I'm even lost.


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Marco








Obrigado,
Marco Silva

Hello Marco,


Who help me with the command CPYTOIMPF?


I'll try -- what do you want to know?



I don't know is it is to ask to much, but if it possible could you
send
me a print?


I see from the MI list that what you're really looking for is the
manual

page for the CPYTOIMPF command. IBM has lots of info in the
Information

center. Take a look:


http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/d
m/rbal3usingcpyto.htm

Here's an example. Let's say I have a file named CUSTMAS in a
library
named FILES. I want to copy it to my PC, which is named 'scottk'.
On
that PC, I've shared a directory named 'Incoming' and I'd like to
put
the file there.

I want the PC file to be in ASCII and in tab-delimited format, so I
can
open it in Excel. Here's what I type:

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(FILES/CUSTMAS)
TOSTMF('/qntc/scottk/Incoming/custmas.tab')
FROMCCSID(*FILE)
STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)
DTAFMT(*DLM)
RCDDLM(*CRLF)
STRDLM(*NONE)
FLDDLM(*TAB)


Here's what it means:

TOSTMF tells it where to put the resulting stream file. On i5/OS,
any
IFS path that starts with /QNTC tells it to use Windows Networking.
It
will use Windows Networking to find the host named 'scottk', and it
will

send the file to the shared directory named 'Incoming', and the file
on
the PC will be called 'custmas.tab'

FROMCCSID tells the system what the CCSID of the existing data file
is.
The special value *FILE means it'll look for the CCSID in the
file
description. On my system, it happens to be CCSID 37 which is the
flavor of EBCDIC that's used where I live in the United States --
but
I
don't have to hard code that, because *FILE will get it from the
file
itself.

STMFCODPAG is the code page of the stream file it's creating.
*PCASCII
means that it'll calculate an ASCII code page that's equivalent to
the
EBCDIC one that was specified in the preceding parameter. Since
I'm
using EBCDIC for the USA in my example, it'll find an ASCII that
supports the same characters.

DTAFMT tells whether the resulting file should be a delimited file
(which is what my example shows) or a fixed file. The difference is
that delimited files have variable-length fields, and each field is
separated from the others by a special character. Software reading
the
file will search for this character to know where the field ends,
and
the next one begins. By contrast, in a fixed format file, the
fields
always start and end in the same positions in the record, so the
software would need to have a list of from/to positions for each
field.
Delimited files are more common in data interchange applications
because they're more "self-describing" (i.e. your software doesn't
have
to have from/to positions coded into it, it can figure it out from
the
data itself)

RCDDLM specifies the special character(s) that denote the end of the
record. *CRLF is the standard on Windows systems, *LF is the
standard
on Unix. Old Apple systems used *CR by itself.

STRDLM lets you specify characters that go around each character
field.
CSV files typically want double quotes (*DBLQUOTE) but most other
file
formats don't use this.

And FLDDLM is the character used (in delimited files) to denote the
end
of one field and the start of another. In my example, I used *TAB
because I was making a tab delimited file. For CSV you'd use a
comma.
For a fixed-format file, you'd set this to *NONE.

Hope that helps.
