Title: Tilde delimited fields in a PC file - how to upload & convert fields to AS/400 physical file

The scan Opcode will do this for you.  Scan to the tilde, trim, repeat til done.

An example record:

40354~KMART STORE# 37~3665 HWY 6~~DALLAS~TX~77478~~~~~713-980-8888~~~4362~~100~3~0~0~~0~

Are there any utilities to split a file with records as shown above into an AS/400 PF?  I would like the tilde's gone, where each tilde acts as the delimiter to begin a new field.

Can Client/Access do this job by itself?

What other options to I have.  Does anyone know of a magazine article with a free utility program?  Other options?

Must I build the DDS by hand?  I have a listing of field names and lengths.

The data is from a query tool on a Unix box.

Thanks!
