It appears that I may soon find myself having to import a whole file of fencepost-delimited ASCII data into DB2/400 files.

The file formats are known, in fact we have files that *should* be in the target format.

The ASCII stream files appear to start with a line of field names. Fields are delimited with ASCII fenceposts ('|', hex 7C), and records are delimited by CRLF (hex 0D0A).

Two of the files are over a gigabyte; the third is over 300 megabytes.

Any suggestions on the most painless way to deal with this mess?
