Re: FTP Question, Urgent

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, one way would be to write a RPG trigger program on the file you
are going to FTP to.  Then write the records to a data queue, and delete
them from the file.  Fairly simple and close to maintenance free.

I'm a strong believer in triggers for this type of thing.
