RE: Another ftp-type question.

This is correct, though you do need to watch out for negative numeric
values passed as zoned. The final digit of a negative zoned numeric
value is not a numeric digit at all....

Subject: Another ftp-type question.

This is just curiousity on my part. From previous responses, I know that
I can ftp a physical file (equivalent to a DB2 table on other systems).
If I need the information in the PF, but reformatted in some way (such
as packed decimal as zoned or binary interger as zoned), can I just
create an LF and then ftp the LF? If so, I would hope this would give me
the data in the PF, but "reformated" and "selected" as specified in the
LF. True? Thanks.
