You've had some good suggestions. You could also use the POI java stuff to work with it as if it were an excel spreadsheet, I think.

If you are open to a commercial solution with more than just this in it, we have a product called RPG2SQL Integrator that also has Excel functionality - and it works with CSV files directly - www.rjssoftware.com or call 888.rjs.soft

Hi All,

I've seen plenty of examples on opening, reading, writing, and
closing stream files on the IFS but I haven't seen anything on deleting
lines within the stream file.

Do I have to read the original file and write it back out
excluding the records I don't want? Or is there a better way?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction....

- Steve
