RE: uploading dbase files using iSeries Access for windows

["John Arnold (MFS)" <jarnold@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone for your responses.

external entity as a dbase table onto the i.
Simple answer - I went back to the entity and requested a csv.

Thanks,
John

What do you want the file to look like on the I ?

What do mean by "converting" ?
