This is for an interface from a DB2
database on an NT server to a DB2/400 database. I have asked the NT guys
to give me the information based on the AS/400 file description, which they
did. Unfortunately the AS/400 file description doesn't accurately reflect
what the data needs to look like. So, I have created the new intermediate
files, and will call the conversion/interface program from a CL that first
copies from the intermediate file into the interface file *map.
At least I think it will work.
Thanks!

Have you thought of writing a quick and dirty
conversion program that would convert the data that you are receiving into
the format of the information that you want it to go
into.

Subject: File
transfer
I am having difficulty uploading a text file into
a DB2/400 file because of the date and time fields in the DB2/400
file.
DSPFFD shows the date fields as 10 Alpha, even though the DDS has
them defined as type 'L'. When I downloaded the file through Client
Access to create the .fdf file, the .fdf file shows them as 8 Alpha, and
the resulting downloaded file shows them as MM/DD/YY even though they are
stored in the DB2/400 file as YYYY-MM-DD.
I have tried using both
FTP and Client Access, to no avail. I have tried tweaking the data,
using different formats (the MM/DD/YY and YYYY-MM-DD, as well as just
numbers).
Any ideas?
Jim
