 Need to replace Data transfer RXFERPCB.
CPYTOIMPF, File Transfer, FTP
Hi All, Have an old program using data transfer. It works fine from the green screen. New Mapics Software in IDF Level 1 does not like the transfer and stops it with a client error. What is the best way to replace this? Tried CPYTOIMPF and sent the physical file to a folder on the I-Series as a text file. Our users have to be able to drag and drop this file into a bank website as the bank will not take FTP. I cannot bring the file up in notepad to check the data and no one is able to drag and drop the file anywhere. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Software/Hardware used:
I-Series, Mapics

It works fine from the green screen.
 
Your question title refers to RXFERPCB. How does that relate to “green screen”? Is your green-screen program using STRPCCMD?
 
…and stops it with a client error.
 
Can you explain what that means? I assume that an error shows up somewhere, but where? And what is the error code or message?

Yes, using STRPCO then STRPCCMD with pause (*NO).  The pop-up window would come up during the transfer.  Now screen comes up with .DTF required PC program (PCO.EXE) is not active.  No communications with PC can occur. Press Enter to resume.  When you press enter the job ends and does not complete the transfer process.  No error message is available.

Logged incident with Mapics.  Their package generated thru Synon does not allow STRPCO commands.

How about starting the transfer from PC side ?

Note that STRPCO and STRPCCMD require being executed in an emulator session job. It is the emulator session code on the PC that reacts to the commands. (A special-format telnet screen is sent from the AS/400.) I suspect that this program is no longer called in an emulator session but via browser or GUI client instead. If so, STRPCO/STRPCCMD are no longer viable. The general replacement would be RUNRMTCMD. — Tom

Hi All,  I ended up changing to CPYTOIMPF, converting to text and sending to a directory file in the root.
