Re: Create dds from fdf

Hi Gary
save the file from Excel as a CSV file
if you have Client access, here an overview of what can be tried,
click on Actions, then Send File to Host
another window should appear (Data Transfer To iSeries)
click Tools
click Create iSeries Database file - this will display a Wizard. Follow
these instructions and an fdf file will be created.
Eventually, the wizard will finish
The Data Transfer To iSeries window should then have both the PC file name
AND the iseries file name filled in
Press Transfer data to iseries and the data will be loaded to your system.

I have a csv file with a lot of fields in it that I would like to got

onto an

i5. I can bring up the file in Excel and create an FDF with the field

names.

Does anyone know of a program on the i5 that will convert an FDF file to

DDS.

I don't have the file created on the i5. Client Access won't createthe

file

on the i5 from Excel

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
