RE: CPYFRMIMPF, and none *crlf record delimiters

["Richard B Baird" <rbaird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Art,

no, not Disney - Twinkies ;)

I've just spoken with the vendor and they can give me a CRLF delimited
record instead of a tilde (thank goodness!).   And the fields are '*'
delimited, so I can at least let CPYFRMIMPF parse the fields into alpha
fields.

I've created a work file with 20 x 30byte alpha fields and will use an rpg
to convert those to the native database.   a whole lot easier than writing
my own parsing routine, doncha think?

It's funny, but almost weekly, i'll be working on some problem and be
having 'technical difficulties', and see my question or something very
similar posed on one of the midrange lists.

I don't know what i'd do without them!

LOL.  I'm in a conferenece call right now about the exact same type of
file.  Tilde as record delimiter.  You're not working with Disney are
you?
