Re: Error 501- Unknown extension in database file name

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are trying to create a new PF this way you may have troubles.
When you go directly this way it's like this
/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYFILE.FILE/MYMEMBER.MBR
So if you trying to send
put mytextfile.txt mysoyrcefile.mytextfile
mysoyrcefile has to exist, has to be specified with mysoyrcefile.file, and
you have to separate mysoyrcefile.file from mytextfile.mbr with a slash.
And why do I have a sudden urge for Chinese food?
