Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Can we FTP a CSVF file to local desktop in good
format

it's a CSV file which is located at some path(IFS PATH '/../') i was able
to download it as mentioned earlier using these FTP steps*

*

But unable to download it with full text in the column headings (which is
present in the base physical file from which his CPYTOIMPF gave output in a
csv file format which is present at IFS location.

So Now what could be done to put full column headings on this CSV file
which is downloaded following FTP steps mentioned on above link ( i just
changed as mentioned earlier TOSTMF parameter to IFS path where that CSV
file is located as mentioned in my previous post)


Thanks.

Jerry, this is still very confusing.

Your data file source is or is not a physical file? Is it on the IFS?
CPYTOIMPF is not a mandatory command to use if you have data in a

physical

file, or a source physical file.
If it is a physical source file with only one member (because physical
files may have more than one member), then what I just gave you should
work. BTW in those instructions I forgot to mention that if it is a
physical file with only one member, the member parameter is not

necessary.

Please do that and let us know how you did.

* just made one change in this command as per my requirement instead of
mentioning source file ,library and member name i just gave complete

IFS

path for that CSV file in TOSTMF parameter of CPYTOIMPF command *)*
with column headings so to download it along with column headings what
could be done here?


Thanks.

Jerry, why don¡t you rather try this download with a simple QSYS

path?

This should look like this after invoking FTP:

OPEN you_ibm_i_name_or _ip_address
Type in your user name
Type in your password
GET (hit enter to be prompted)
Remote filename: YOURLIB/YOURFILE.YOURMEMBER
Local filename: your_local_file_name_as_you_name_it.your ext

Then inspect your contents. If it looks like garbage, then, repeat

and

before issuing the GET command above, issue a BIN command first.
Then follow on with the GET.

Try this and let us know.

I simply meant to say for TOSTMF WITH IFS file location here i just

gave

example in actual CPYTOIMPF command i am using '/IFS PATH' ( IFS

Path

means

i am giving exact IFS location of that CSV file)

So not sure how can i download it with complete column headings

here.

Thanks.

To be completely unambiguous, an IFS path should always start

with

a

/.

Otherwise, please more information, as asked by me, Vern, and

others.
