We have a program written in Java using JTopen 5.0 which transports
files with ftp.
I have understood that a traditional AS/400 file can be either
externally described, or not. (I can see externally described files as
tables with JDBC, the others not).
The problem is it is necessary to use CPYTOSTMF with one format, and
CPYTOIMPF with the other, and we would like to check before hand instead
of running first CPYTOSTMF, and if that fails with a "cannot use this
kind of file" message, running CPYTOIMPF on it.
Is there a way to check programmatically before hand? I tried looking
in the toolbox source and found by looking at IFSFile.isReadOnly() that
this might be stowed away in the "fixedAttributes" field in
IFSCachedAttributes class, but there is only defined FA_READONLY and
FA_HIDDEN to hint the meaning of this field. (1 and 2 respectively).
I would appreciate any pointers.
