Re: SSH, system, and CPD0104

[Mike Amos <yl_mra@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I got this to work going from Linux to bsh running under QShell via 
ssh. The trick was to escape the correct single and double quotes to 
pass though the various shell parsers.

 ssh -T user@my-system "system \" CPYFRMSTMF 
FROMSTMF('/home/user/ascii400.txt') 
TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/USER.LIB/MYFILE.FILE/MYFILE.MBR') MBROPT(*REPLACE)\""

So, it looks like the suggested sequence works - at least in my case.

Sorry if I missed part of the thread and this is redundant.

Note that I used CPYFRMSTMF instead of CPYFRMIMPF.
