Adam, how does the user get the file to her PC? Can the offsite web host
FTP the file to the iseries, and as Peter suggested, embed a quote rcmd call
xxxxxxxxxxx into the FTP script to process the file automatically?
We are doing tons of stuff like this for our customers. Another way might
be to use a web service and XML.

Subject: Best way to get orders to i
HI We have a small internet sales that is outsourced. Currently, someone
gets the orders file to her PC and file transfers to the i. to a PF. I have
to run a program that would report on any items ordered that do not have a
weight amount in our Master file.
Since the time that this is run is not fixed, I cannot just run my job at
a fixed time.
I was interested in some approaches to this. One idea I have is to run a
progam that would look if the the PF has been updated at all this day. Once
it knows that it's been updated, I guess via checking the changed object
date?
Perhaps I could have the PC set off a job on the i, from her PC, but I am
trying to have the user do nothing additional if possible.
I was wondering what other people do/have done in this situatiion.
Getting the records via Scott Klement's program is possible but for various
reason I don't think they want to change the process just now,
