I've given up on recommending CPYxxxSTMF/IMPF commands. IBM has changed
these with nearly every release, and yet they still suck. Do yourself a
favor and learn the stmf api's.

Subject: Using a csv file with embedded CR/LF
I have to load a csv file I am getting from a 3rd party into an iSeries
database. The csv file files are correctly comma separated and
double-quoted but in one large text string there can be embedded
carriage return/line feeds and the same is used to end the record. The
large text string is within double quotes but CPYFRMSTMF still sees the
CR/LF within the double quotes and takes that as the end of record which
results in one record in the csv file becoming multiple records in the
file that is used in the TOMBR parameter in the CPYFRMSTMF. None of the
options for ENDLINFMT appear to work. Is there some trick to getting
CPYFRMSTMF to do what I need? I do need the embedded CR/LF characters
included in the database field so the text appears correctly when it is
displayed on a web page. Will I need to read the csv file and do my own
parsing of the data to split out each field as needed?
