RE: Maximum Record Length of PF!!

["Chaudhary, Sachin \(GE Equipment Services, Consultant\)" <sachin.chaudhary@xxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael, but how do we do that? 
I know its a dumb question but never worked on Stream File!
Our UNIX team get the data from AAR server, and then FTP to AS400 server, the 
datafile which gets created on AS400 defaults to a PF! I verified on UNIX the 
record length is indeed > 32766.

Rgds,
Sachin

Sounds like a good candidate for a stream file. FTP it to a stream file,
then copy the stream data to a physical file. This AAR place must have
longer than 32766 record length on their files?
