When using the CPYFRMIMPF, I understand everything except the "From Stream 
File..." parm.  I don't know what value it is looking for.  Here is what I 
tried to no avail:

                       Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF)                       
                                                                                
 Type choices, press Enter.                                                     
                                                                                
 From stream file . . . . . . . . FROMSTMF     > 'qdls/tball'                   
                                                                                
 From file:                       FROMFILE                                      
   File . . . . . . . . . . . . .                                               
     Library  . . . . . . . . . .                  *LIBL                        
   Member . . . . . . . . . . . .                *FIRST                         
 To data base file:               TOFILE                                        
   File . . . . . . . . . . . . .              > UPSEOD                         
     Library  . . . . . . . . . .              >   TRACYB                       
   Member . . . . . . . . . . . .                *FIRST                         
 Replace or add records . . . . . MBROPT         *ADD                           
 Stream file record length  . . . STMFLEN        *TOFILE                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
 Now, on the CPYFRMPCD command, the location would just be "TBALL", as the qdls 
path is understood by the command.  What is the difference here?

Any help is appreciated!
