Re: Encryption methods on the i

[Jeff Young <jyoung0950@xxxxxxxxx>]

Based on the information I have at this time, they want to just encrypt the
data on their system (non ibm i) before transmission to prevent
unauthorized access.
They are sending ascii csv data, so the records and fields with them are
varying length.
