Re: [IBMiOSS] CSV file in the IFS, writing it to a DB2 file using Python

[Jim Steil <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reading a csv file is simple with Python.

This article outlines it pretty well.   https://realpython.com/python-csv/

A reason you wouldn't want cpyfrmimpf is because you may want to do
additional manipulation on the data before putting it in the db.  Also may
want to eliminate fields.

Will you run this on IBM i or on a Windows/Linux machine?
