Usage of CPYFRMSTMF & CPYFRMPCD commands

["Nandi, Rabindranath \(Cognizant\)" <Rabindranath.Nandi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,



We all know that CPYFRMSTMF command is used to copy data contained in
stream file reside in the current working directory (from AS/400 Root
folders) to database file member (AS/400 PF's).  Normally we take text
files (tab delimited, normal txt files), csv files etc.



Earlier this was possible with shared folders alone using CPYFRMPCD
command.



On usage we found there is a subtle difference between these commands
with respect to Text files on Tab Delimiters. My question now is



1)     Is there any command which can work (same as CPYFRMPCD)
independent of text files that it is tab delimited or not and copy from
root folders to PF.



2)     Are there any API's or other mechanisms where we can find the
type of file (e.g .TXT file) I am going to get from root folders and
then derive if it is tab delimited text or not.



Regards,

Rabin.
