RE: uploading dbase files using iSeries Access for windows

Thanks everyone for your responses.
I guess I was not clear. I want to load data I am receiving from an
external entity as a dbase table onto the i.
Simple answer - I went back to the entity and requested a csv.

Thanks,
John

What do you want the file to look like on the I ?

What do mean by "converting" ?

The option does not exist in the iSeries Access choices.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I am receiving a set of data from a client in .dbf format each month
and would like to minimize the conversions if possible.
