RE: file transfer with column AND field names included

Rob,

The utility I downloaded is called 'ColumnHeadingTransfer' and does not
have a 'data' button, but does have a select for either Column Names or
Field Names or Field text. Will look at your suggestion at writing my
own if the other 2 suggestions are not what I need.

Dave/Mike,

I will look at the CPYTOCSV and Surveyor/400 utilities and see if they
fit my needs.

Thanks very much for your suggestions.

Sheri

What do you mean it doesn't allow data selection? It fully supports
column and row selection. Hit the data options button.

Where did you see the capability to select either the column names or
the
column headings?

Could you do a CPYTOIMPF and put both of those first, then the data?

Would it be hard to write something that does this for you? First
populate the headings with data gathered from
SELECT SYSTEM_TABLE_SCHEMA, SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME, SYSTEM_COLUMN_NAME,
LONG_COMMENT, COLUMN_HEADING
FROM syscolumns
WHERE system_table_name='AAAKEY'
and then append the data with CPYTOIMPF?
Think "pivot table".
