I have received a file from an outside agency that chokes CPYFRMIMPF. The fields are pipe delimited. I have looked at the raw file and don't see anything REALLY obvious - the file is several hundred lines long. I can open this thing in Excel just fine, but there is no option to save it with pipe delimiters. There is a free text portion, which, I suspect, prompted the need to use the pipe as a delimiter.
The agency has converted this file multiple times, and the results are the same. Other files are just fine. When I attempted to use an error file, I got nothing in the created member.
Is this why some of you loathe CPYFRMIMPF? Any suggestions on how to isolate and fix the error(s) causing CPYFRMIMPF to choke? Not sure I have the time to write the program to split this thing apart. Can SQL be used in some way to identify or clean up the file?
