RE: Tabbed files for 3rd party vendor

["John Brandt Sr." <pgmr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do it programmatically using a variable defined as a hex 5. The output file,
if you look from the iSeries side, will be a hex 09.
DCL        VAR(&TAB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(X'05')    
CPYTOIMPF  FROMFILE(&FROMLIB/&FROMFILE &FROMMBR) +      
             TOSTMF(&TOSTMF) RCDDLM(*CRLF) FLDDLM(&TAB) 
You get the idea.
I created a copy of CPYTOIMPF of my own to allow named delimiters.

Here's my challenge:

I am looking for a way (procedure) to take a PF DDS described file tab
it and sent it as flat file (.GO) to another server.

We have one way of doing that which is writing a program per file and
add X'05' between the fields to insert the tabs. This solution is quite
cumbersome and time consuming due to the number of files that need to be
transferred. 

 

Ps. CPYTOIMPF does seem to work since it only has '|' not a real *TAB!

 

....5..

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.
