How I can transfer AS400 objects to PC and vice versa?
C.F. Sistemi
I wish save a Library to a SAVF file, then transfer SAVF file to a PC.
The PC file shall be restored into an other AS400.
Is this possible?
Thank in advance,
Sergio Carpi

Yes, if you have TCP/IP enabled on the AS/400's, you can FTP GET the
file from the
first AS/400 to your pc, and FTP PUT the file to the second AS/400. You
will have
to specify binary mode before the put and get so no EBCDIC and ASCII
conversions
will occur and the savf will be left intact.
If you need additional compression on the file, you can zip the file
once it's on
the pc and unzip it before putting back onto the AS/400.
Good luck!

CPYFRMSAVF. This will allow you to copy a save fiel to a database
flat file of record length 528 bytes. Download this file to your
diskette and when you've transfered the database file to the new
AS/400 you can use the QUSRTOOL CPYTOSAVF to copy the database back
into a savf file and restore it.

Greetings
I have an *AWESOME* tool that allows you to do this with a command
interface .... "Tell me the library name and press ENTER" to create a file
that can be downloaded via shared folders and then restored the same way.
The library is restored with a single command !!!
Let me know if you have any interest ....

If your 400s have TCP/IP, use FTP to transfer the save file. That is,
1) Create the save file on the source 400 and add the objects.
2) Create an *empty* save file on the target 400.
3) Transfer the save file (BINARY transfer mode) with FTP to the PC.
4) Transfer the save file (again BINARY mode) with FTP from the PC to
the save file created in step 2 on the target 400. (If you're using the
FTP client on the 400, use the GET command with the "(replace" option)
5) Restore the save file on the target.
You can save a step by only transferring 400-to-400 with FTP. The key
thing to remember is when transferring the file to the target 400,
transfer to an existing save file with the replace option. Otherwise,
FTP will create a non-save file for you that you can't restore.
This is a great way to move 400 objects around "without tape".

Is very simple:
1) Create a SAVF (CRTSAVF) we coll in the example Filesav
2) Save library or any kind of object into SAVF
3) Create a file with record lenght of 528 (CRTPF RCDLEN(528)) we call
PCFILE
4) Write a RPG program:
FFilesav IP F 528 Disk
FPcFile O F 528 Disk
IFilesav 01
I record 1 528
OPcFile D 01
O Record 528
5) Copy PcFile to a folder or to PC specifing NO CONVERSION
6) Upload to the other system
7) Create an empty SAVF and rerun RPG program invertin file names.
If you have questions in italian send me an e-mail.

FTP doesn't always work. Some of the data gets jumbled up in the
conversion.

More than one lister suggests using FTP for transfer between PC and
AS/400.
Now that's all very well when you do it interactively, but I want to
automate it.
Normally I create a file with ftp commands, e.g. ftp.cmds containing:
verbose
open myhost
user foo bar (user AND password here)
....
bye
and run
ftp -n < ftp.cmds
While this works on UNIX, it doesn't on the PC. ftp (I think it's
Novell ftp I'm using) does not want the user/password redirected and
prompts
for it. It does not recognize the "-n" flag.
There's also the problem, in case of an AS/400 library, how do you spawn
RSTLIB from an ftp script ? Some ftp's have "site" or "system" commands
but the PC version hasn't. Of course there are zillions of PC ftp's
which
makes it only worse...
Lastly, who guarantees everybody has ftp on their AS/400 ? CA/400 is
okay,
because that's a requirement for our client/server setup anyway.
So because of all that, I was thinking of supplying a CA/400 macro doing
the
file transfer and RSTLIB command, and whatever else needs to be done on
the host.
I'm still not sure if this is feasible (because I'm a newbie :-).
Any ideas out there ?

Seeing as TCP/IP is packaged as standard with version 3, then the majority
will have access to ftp. Just requires for yourself to install and
configure it.

I used to transfer AS/400 object using diskette, this is how to do it:
a. create save file *SAVF
b. save your objects to *SAVF
c. at pc end: enter command : ftp hostname
d. command: binary
e. get savf drive:filename
to upload the save file back to AS/400
a. create a *SAVF file on AS/400
b. at pc: ftp hostname
c. binary
d. put drive:filename savefilename
note: on AS/400 end, a *SAVF file must exist before ftp, or else, the ftp
file will be converted to PF (physical file) instead of *SAVF
