RE: Wrap numeric fields in double quotes with CPYTOIMPF?

You can make an intermediate with all alpha fields and CPYF *NOCHK to it.

If they are packed numeric then you need to write a quick conversion.

I'd just write a program to create the CSV. It's so simple and you avoid CPYTOIMPF crapping out on you some day.

Read input record or SQL read
output = %trim(field1) + ',' + %trim(%editc(field2:'Z')) + ','..... etc.
write output
read
end

I'm starting to work with a cloud EDI provider and they've asked me to
provide them data in a specific format - a comma separated text file,
with each field wrapped in double quotes:

"xx", "123" etc...

I've been playing with CPYTOIMPF and it's working, except for the
numeric fields. I've done some googling and I'm not finding anything.
Is there a way to make CPYTOIMPF wrap numeric fields in double quotes?
