Re: Converting DBF File

i see Joe Pluta pointed to a java site (let us know if you go that route and
it works).
I have been using the Bruce Guthrie "convert" utility for years.
Our 400 gets the file on the ifs, I do a remote cmd to a pc, which
has a mapped share of the 400 ifs directory, it converts the file to
text, then i use cpyfrmimpf to copy the converted file to a database file.
All run from
the 400, and I do "hate" running remote commands, but it works.
