Alex,
This isn't enough information. From the sound of it, a "button at the
top of the screen" strikes me as NOT part of the green-screen (5250)
interface itself, but rather part of the client software. Maybe I'm
wrong about that, but you can at least narrow things down by telling
us what the client software is. For example, there is a product from
IBM that used to be called "Client Access" and is now sometimes still
called that, but is more properly called "IBM i Access". Some folks
use Mocha TN5250, or PowerTerm, or perhaps a few other choices.
I couldn't see your original screenshot; that might have been
elucidating, but this mailing list doesn't accept attachments. You'll
need to post that picture somewhere else, and send us a link to it.
Rob asked:
"How are you uploading the files? Are you using IBM i Access for Windows
file transfer? FTP, a NetServer share, a NFS share, Excel built in file
transfer?"
Do you know what any of those are? Can you see how "we press a
button" doesn't answer the question?
I mean, the answer to practically EVERY "how did you do that" question
is either "I pressed a button" or "I clicked the mouse". We're trying
to find out what that button is connected to.
Maybe your upload (i.e. getting a file from the PC to *somewhere* on
the IBM i) worked fine, and there is another step which copies data
from one place *already* on the IBM i into the desired library. It
will be a tremendous help to know which leg of the journey was the
problem.
