Re: Speaking of data transfers

I believe ... the file that cannot be found is the FDF - file definition
file. When you upload to the I the file transfer program is looking for an
FDF file to tell it how to transfer and format the data.

Option 2 on your list.

There's a few things to consider here:
- Simply transferring an Excel spreadsheet from your PC to somewhere in
the IFS on your IBM i
or
- Trying to take data from an Excel spreadsheet and transfer it into a

DB2

file in the /QSYS.LIB file system.

If you are trying to do the latter then there's other things to

consider.

1 - Are you willing to use the Excel plug-in to transfer data from

Excel

directly into a DB2 file, or
2 - Are you trying to use the Data Transfer from IBM i Access Client
Solutions?
3 - Are you trying to use the deprecated IBM i Client Access for

Windows

Data Transfer?

If you're using 3 I won't help you.

But the basic thing to remember is that the DB2 file has to exist. The
transfer will not create one.
