Re: Access OS400 shared folder from windows

Bryan,

I have looked at replies others have given, and I agree with most all of
it. How I would get a CSV file to a PF automatically;

Create a Folder in the windows portion of the IFS. I would use iNav to make
the folder shared.
Get the CSV file into that folder with a standardized name. Use drag and
drop to copy the CSV file to the shared folder. Others use FTP
Use CPYFRMIMPF in a CL program to put the data into a PF with the correctly
defined fields.

There are numerous was to get this done, and mine is only one, and most
likely not the best.

Jim,
I myself am trying to learn about the IFS. When someone says IFS and
doesn't specify a file system, what do she mean? QSYS.LIB? Isn't QDLS
one of the 11 file systems in the IFS?

I'm working on transferring data from an Excel CSV file to a PF using a CL
command; but if I could drag and drop the CSV to the "IFS" that would work
too.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Marco,

Why are you using QDLS? QDLS limits you to old DOS naming conventions of
8
characters (or was it 10) with a 3 letter extension. Using the IFS might
be
a better way to go. Your error might be a invalid name for the QDLS
folder.

What are you trying to copy and how are you getting it there?
What version of the operating system are you on?

I create a share folder in QDLS. I can reach it from windows, I can even
delete folders, but I tried to copy a file into there and it didn't
allow me. The error was, DOS command error.


I have full permitions.

Thanks,
Marco
