Re: Speaking of data transfers

nope not using any plugin.
It's clear that the PC has to have an FDF. I have not seen where and how
you make this FDF.

Are you using the plugin from within excel? I've never used it, but one

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

simple upload using data transfer to IBMi.
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.
