First, you can transfer to the as/400 ifs using Windows Explorer, or you can access the PC directly from the AS/400 using QNTC file system. In either case, use the POI classes from jakarta.apache.com directly from RPG (you do not need to know Java) to access the xls file directly. No need for csv files or cpyfrmpcd or iseries access data transfer. There are lots of examples on the net using POI classes from RPG.

Another solution is to use a PC based FTP to transfer to the AS/400. I have used iSeries Access and given users an icon for a one click file transfer. Lots of ways to go. I like the java solution because it is the most direct and straight forward.

Try CPYFRMIMPF with STRDLM(‘,’)

A Google search will show a ton of examples.

Also, you could store them on the IFS in .CSV format and use the CPYFRMIMPF in a CL that would drop them nicely into a database file. Again, a Google search should turn up an example for that.

You may also be able to map the server directory directly on the AS/400 as a share. At which point you could probably read the file from the PC server directly from an RPG.
