I finally figured out how to do both, however, that extra spaces are not
eliminated. Is there a way to get it to look like a true CSV format?

Tracy,
Are you trying to create/fill a database file or a PC stream file? If
it's
a database file, it doesn't have to be externally described. Rob's method
is probably the easiest way to go. But if your desired end result is a
CSV
file for a PC (which seems likely, but may not be the case), just go
straight for the stream file option and cut out a step.

Existing externally defined file is bad.
I just did it with CRTPF ... RCDLEN(...) and no DDS.

Subject: RE: Assign a Value
I am just now learning of the CPYTOIMPF, and I have seen this command
referenced a few times so far. However, in just trying to do the command
for a temporary file, I get an error saying my TOFILE is not the right
file type. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of a temporary file, if the
file has to be an existing externally described file?
And yes, this may seem like a basic question, and no doubt I could become
an expert if I take more time to research this, however, I can think of
immediate uses for this, and I was wanting to test this right away!

Bill,
An easier way to get a file with comma separated values to create a
temporary file with the data and use the CPYTOIMPF command.

Subject: Assign a Value
Is there a way to assign a value to a field in DDS. For example I have a
client which requires us to seperate our fields by commas. I would like to
code this in the DDS rather than in my pgm-there are over 120 fields. I
would use the values keyword but I think this just allows certain
values-not
assign.
Thanks
