Re: Transferring a CSV file to i5 -- MIDRANGE-L

Rob,

You are a life saver. I can't thank you enough.
I was working on this trying to get it running all day yesterday.
I found the link you included in your email and a whole bunch more about this subject
yesterday.
I'm not sure what fixed it but after your email I made some changes that I should have
made long ago.
It is running now.
Changes I made:
1. I was reading this file out of /tmp. The last time I ran into this I had the file in
/home/garyt. I don't know if it makes a difference but I changed it to /home/garyt.
2. I recalculated the error file length. It's now correct.

Thank you for sparking my thoughts to resolve this issue.

It took me some time to really read this.
The problem is not in the file you are trying to import it to, although I
wouldn't use a source physical file either.
The problem is in the error record file.
And this same error message regarding this same file in this same library
has been on this list before.

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong in this exact same problem I had
once before.

I'm trying to import a CSV file into an AS/400 PF.

CRTF: CRTSRCPF FILE(KDICHANGES/MBRPAY1ERS) RCDLEN(959) +
MBR(*FILE)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF7302) EXEC(DO)
DLTF FILE(KDICHANGES/MBRPAY1ERS) /* File Already +
exists */
GOTO CMDLBL(CRTF)
ENDDO

CPYFRMIMPF +
FROMSTMF('/tmp/ATU_PAYROLL_DATA_FY14_372_39+
8.txt') TOFILE(KDICHANGES/MBRPAYATU) +
MBROPT(*ADD) RCDDLM(*CRLF) STRDLM('"') +
FLDDLM('|') FROMRCD(*FIRST 20) +
ERRRCDFILE(KDICHANGES/MBRPAY1ERS +
MBRPAY1ERS) ERRRCDOPT(*ADD)

I'm getting this error:
Message ID . . . . . . : CPF2885 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 12/17/14 Time sent . . . . . . : 18:56:38

Message . . . . : Field Definition or Error file MBRPAY1ERS in
KDICHANGES
not allowed.
Cause . . . . . : File MBRPAY1ERS 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.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Gary Kuznitz
