Prior to V5R3 I used to say use the commands CPYFRMSTMF or CPYFRMIMPF. But
V5R3 and beyond made it such a PITA with CCSID restrictions and what not
that I recommend rolling your own with the IFS APIs that Scott Klement has
an excellent free tutorial on.
Benefits of rolling your own:
- Believe it or not, yours will run faster than IBMs. The abomination
they do with SQL is a performance killer. Try theirs running under
STRDBG.
- You can handle the CCSIDs as you see fit.
- You get better granularity of control. Like if row x of the text file
has a 16 character item number and your item master only supports 15
characters then you can handle the exception gracefully. Trying to
determine where the problem is within CPYFRMIMPF can be mind numbing.
