RE: So I tried to CPYTOPCD a *SAVF

[Bob Cozzi <BobCozzi@xxxxxxx>]

Al,

You need my cool "Copy SaveFile" command. However, if you just write a 
simple little RPG program to read a 528 byte record ("RecIn"), and write a 
528 record ("RecOut"), then override them at runtime to a *SAVF object and 
a 528-byte database file created with something like CRTPF mySaveFile 
 RCDLEN(528) SRCFILE(*NONE) LVLCHK(*NO)

Then call the program with the save file overridden to the RecIn file, and 
your database file overridden to the RecOut file. All in all about 20 lines 
of RPG code.

Then you can download it to the PC, but be sure to use NO CONVERSION on the 
transfer. That seems to work best.
