John,

This worked with FTP.
This is a flat file, 1 field, 80 long.
3rd party package expecting the file in this library.

But the resulting file is savf not a PF.

Were you able to FTP directly to physical files before? In general, this doesn't work. Even if you can get it to work for "flat files", it's generally not the best way to go. If your target is a regular data PF (with meaningful fields), the normal approaches are to use something else (like ODBC or JDBC) to directly populate the PF, or to deposit the data to IFS and then do some step on the i to copy it over (like CPYFRMIMPF, CPYFRMSTMF, or something more sophisticated).
