 Copying an externally-described file to the IFS
Copying from iSeries to IFS, CPYTOIMPF, IFS
Hello, I need to copy several externally-described files to the IFS. What is the best way to copy an externally-described file on the iseries to the IFS on the same iseries? I am wanting the file on the IFS to be in either EBCDIC, ASCII, BINARY, or Comma Separated Variable format. I thought about using the CPYTOIMPF command for this, but I didn't know how the parameters needed to be to get the different formats. Thank you.

Hi, CPYTOIMPF is probably your best option. You'll need to look at the following parameters :- STMFCODPAG - ASCII / EBCDIC DTAFMT - Delimited (CSV) / Fixed Regards, Martin Gilbert.
