[Stephan Schmuck]

Hi there,

Hope anyone can help me with this issue - found nothing on the net that
will solve my prob.
I'm trying to ftp a file from windows to AS400 but I'm getting an
Error.
Here is what I see on prompt.

CPE3101 is the IBM message for "A non-recoverable I/O error occurred"
this is a not very informative error to say that there was a problem
writing to the file. You may be able to see more information from the
FTP job running on the iSeries in subsystem QSYSWRK.

Just hazzarding a few guesses

1) Are you trying to FTP directly into an Externally described file
with packed fields, if so I would suggest you FTP to an alternate file
and import with CPYF or even CPYFRMIMPF, you can run this from the FTP
command line as part of your script using QUOTE RCMD CPY ......

2) Does the file you are FTPing to have any problems, run RUNQRY *N and
RGZPFM on it to check it out.

3) Does the FPT user have write authority to the file.

Hope one of these helps.

Regards Brad

think, the problem lies there.
Yes, I want to ftp directly into such a file.
The file on Windows allready contains packed numeric data (converted
programmaticly by myself).
Should I ftp this file to an alternate file now, and use CPYF?
And what ftp type should I use. (Guess that bin should work, cause the
numeric fields are allready packed by my own?)

Thanks for your help.

Regards Stephan

Wow, a lot of defaults. I dont know enough FTP to know if this is
correct or not. My experience with FTPing to the AS400 is it is easiest
to FTP a text file to the IFS and then use RCMD to run a commands like
CPYFRMSTMF and CPYFRMIMPF to get the data into a member in the QSYS
file system.
