Re: sftp from IBMi to remote server

kevin, could the fact that the file I want to do the cpyimpf on, is a
program described file instead of an externally described file, be why the
cpytoimpf is not converting packed fields as expected?

please try to use QCDXLATE API it is very good and helps to convert EBCDIC

cpytoimpf is not working... nor did it work before when we tried it...

using parms

mbropt(*replace)
fromccsid(37) - if we don't, the result looks EBCDIC? symbols - no clear
text
stmfcodpag(*pcascii)
rcddlm(*cr) - required with dtafmt(*fixed)
dtafmt(*fixed)

any suggestions on what is missing?

thats funny - i actually started with your suggestion but was not
achieving the correct formatted stmf result.(probably didn't have the
cpytoimpf parms just right).
Consulted with a couple of vets at my company and they suggested the

cpyf

method.

got it - i guess i'll need to play with the correct parms in cpytoimpf

to

achieve this correctly.

thanks John

So what is the solution to do a cpyf to a flat text to be sure the

packed

are going to be clear text in the flat text file?

The solution is to not use CPYF at all. The whole point of CPYTOIMPF
is to copy data from a PF into either a flat file or stream file. In
this case, you would go straight to stream file.
