RE: Problem with CPYFRMSTMF Using Pipe(|) Delimited Data

Rick,

Thanks a lot for all your great help on that!  It worked really well, I just 
needed to change my dds specs to alwnul.  I looked at qopt and there are no 
problems with authority.  I don't know why I couldn't just CPYFRMIMPF directly 
from OPT01.  It's really bizarre.

Now that my dds is alwnul capable, am I going to have trouble reading the file 
with rpg or rpg iv?

Thanks again,
   Ted

Ted,  sorry, but it's been a bitch of a day - one fire right after the
other... just got around to reading the list mail again and I just replied
to the list.  i'll repeat here:

------------------
Ted,

If that's the reason the copy failed, then having your vendor change it to
a flat file won't help.  It must have something to do with your path, or
maybe authority to that path.

OPT01 sounds like a CD drive.  Is that correct?

some things you may or may not want to try:

Copy the file to an actual IFS directory and run your cpyfrmimpf from
there.
Or, copy it from CD to your pc, move to the IFS and copy from there.
Or open it and parse it in excel and transfer using the CA transfer wizard.

other than that, i'm not sure what else to try.

I'm sure there are more IFS savvy folks around here that may be able to
help you.

Rick,

Yes, I checked the low level messages and it said it couldn't find the
object on OPT01.  Yet I can view it with WRKLNK.
