If they can use Client Access or some such thing they could put in into a
folder under qdls.  Once there you can run:
CPY OBJ('/QDLS/ROBPC/ROB/rob')
    TOOBJ('/qsys.lib/rob.lib/rob2x.file')
    TOCCSID(*CALC)
I tested this.  After this then DSPSAVF FILE(ROB/ROB2X) worked
successfully.
Now, if they can't connect at all with a PC, but have it burned on a CD
from the file they downloaded on their PC, then there should be no reason
they couldn't  do something similar to
CPY OBJ('/QOPT/volid/rob')
    TOOBJ('/qsys.lib/rob.lib/rob2x.file')
    TOCCSID(*CALC)
This I didn't test so there might be some fun and games with the ccsid.

Our company distributes fixes over the Internet in the form of a zipped
savefile. Customers receive the file, unzip it, and FTP it in binary into
a
savefile on their system and do a rstobj from there.

However, we have a couple customers who don't have TCP/IP. We're trying to
avoid cutting CDs to allow them to simply rstobj from the CD (we have the
software to create such CDs, though).

So, we need to provide a way for customers without TCP/IP to get these
savefiles to the system. The idea occurred to me that they could burn the
savefile to a CD on a PC, then use FTP to localhost to pull it from the CD
via the IFS /QOPT directory into a savefile, but this would require the
FTP
server to be running. If the customer doesn't have TCP/IP configured or
even
a NIC, can the FTP server be started to allow this? Any other ideas?
