Gary,
From my experience working with this type of process, you cannot have a file defined by DDS. When you create the file give only the filename and the record length. This creates a different type of physical file that the command detects and can use. Just make sure you make the record length sufficiently long.
And don't forget that after you transfer the file, it will still have the commas and quotes. I have some examples of how I parse the file, if you want a leg-up.
Thanks,
Marvin

subject: Transferring a CSV file to i5
I'm trying to transfer a .CSV file to an i5.
I tried using this cmd:
CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('/home/garyt/LU127720140115.csv') +
TOFILE(KDICHANGES/AUDITCSV) +
MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF) +
ERRRCDFILE(KDICHANGES/AUDITERORS +
AUDITERORS) ERRRCDOPT(*REPLACE)
I'm getting this error:
Message ID . . . . . . : CPF2885 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 02/10/14 Time sent . . . . . . : 14:35:04
Message . . . . : Field Definition or Error file AUDITERORS in KDICHANGES not
allowed.
Cause . . . . . : File AUDITERORS in KDICHANGES is not the correct file type
for the copy command.
-- The Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF) command require a source, DDM,
program described physical, or externally described physical file for the
Field Definition File (FLDDFNFILE) and the Error Record File (ERRRCDFILE).
Recovery . . . : Do one of the following to change the file name on the
parameter and try the request again:
-- Specify the correct file type on the FLDDFNFILE, or ERRRCDFILE
parameter.
I have the TOFILE created as:
R AUDITMEM
----------------------
SSN 4
MBRTYPE 4
NAME 35
SEQNUM 9
ADRSLN1 35
CITY 35
STATE 2
ZIP 5
ENRDT 8
The file is 130chs long.
I have created an error file called AUDITERORS
I have created the error file as:
R AUDITMEM
----------------------
RECORD 200
It has a member.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with the type of the error file?
Or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Gary Kuznitz
