Re: AS400 file to PC file transfer

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

Have you considered using FTP for the transfer? You can specify that
data be appended to the existing file. We have customers using our FTP
Manager product to create the Excel CSV file and then transfer to PC
users. We can replace, append, or automatically generate a new file
name.
