RE: Hi New to list. QCMDEXC Question Kind of long. Thanks a lot.

Welcome to the list Matthew.  I too went to a school that specialized in 
using RPG for their programming training.  Mind you that was 5 years ago.
Keyin College here in Newfoundland Canada.  Although I learned a lot more 
once out in the workplace.  Including debugging code that was not mine. 
That's really fun (sarcastic note inserted).  One thing in school they 
tell you is to document, document, document.  Must have been a new idea 
when I was there cause not many programs I started working on had 
documentation lol.

Matthew, I think you got a couple of good answers to your question, so I
won't bother repeating that.  I just wanted to welcome you and THANK YOU 
for
doing what many of us forget to do before posting on the list - search the
archives, try it on your own, and give details & relevant code when you 
are
stumped.

The only niggle was that the code you posted was "crunched" together,
probably something that your mail client did, or the copy/paste function 
you
used.  I could make out the D-specs ok, but this:

    CMD='CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE('+Clientlib+'/'+%trim(FFILE_PRM)+
   >
    ') TOSTMF('+%TRIM(TFILE_PRM)+') MBROPT(*REPLACE) +

    STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*CRLF) STRDLM(*NONE) +

    FLDDLM(X''05'')';

had me going for a bit.  I noticed the '+' signs in the FROMFILE and 
TOSTMF
parameters threw me, and I'd guess you modified the code prior to posting.
When dealing with syntax-type of errors, it's best to post your code
verbatim.

Just curious, did your college have an AS/400 for educational purposes? If
it did, would you mind naming the school?
