RE: Help - EDI with small company

I also have been working with EDI a long time which is why I realize the
scope of what I about to take on:) I am very familiar with the standards -
it is the format that is a problelm- Either we need an XML parser to put it
into a correct format for the i-series to handle or upload the whole csv
file since it is multi-record format and parse it out myself. Btw - I did
search the archives and did not find what I needed. Since I was dealing with
data and file layouts I posted it here - sorry if it is the wrong forum. I
am open to all suggestions Thank you to everyone who is answering:)

Probably the least expensive and easiest/quickest would be to have the files
FTP'd to the iSeries, and then use CPYFRMIMPF to map the data to a PF of the
same structured layout. If you do a search for CPYFRMIMPF you should get
articles showing examples of how to do this. I just did something similar
to this for a customer a couple weeks ago as it relates to the NYSE.

Hi
I am working with a small company that has to handle 850, 997 and 856
documents. We can retreive them in XML, CSV or EDI formats. I need to
find a very inexpensive(freeware) translator or be able to translate
from the XML or CSV to the i-series from a shared folder.
I can handle it once it is on the i-series or what ever you want to
call it these days:)

thanks,
