if the character data is in double quotes and comma separated why not use 
CPYFRMIMPF??
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply Rob
Good idea, but unfortunately - no can-do. Its comma separated

I think the general consensus is to try to get them to send it tab
delimited instead.  If you forget what the hex code is for tab delimited
it's easy to do a
DSPF STMF('/rob/aa.txt')
F10=Display Hex

Afternoon everyone
I am to receive a string that contains a number (9) of fields that are
comma separated.
Each of these fields COULD also contain commas, therefore these fields
will
be incased in double quotes (")
Is there anything in SQL and/or RPGILE that will parse this data into
individual fields or is it a case of building my own logic
I've just re-read this e-mail and it looks familiar
I'll check the archives as well
