I have a text file in CSV format that I would need to load to a System i file.
Although I can use iSeries Access file transfer, I would prefer to do this in a program as I do not want all fields.
Some of the fields in the CSV file are NULL, so unless I change my file, I can not use theCPYFRMIMPF command.
I am comfortable using the System API's to create files on the IFS, but have not had to read them.
What things do I need to be aware of when reading a CSV file?
How do I tell when a field ends?
How do I tell when a record ends?
How do I test the data in the PC field for NULL?

TIA,
