Transfer a file to AS400
Hi,
I develop an application in Visual Basic 6.0 that has to transfer a file to an AS400. The problem is the control "inet" don't send the proper information, because don't support EBCDIC format.
Any ideas? Any one knows any free activeX that support EBCDIC transfers?
(I implement another way but i don't have any notification when the file transfers ends. - throat the command line executing a batch file)

If the file is currently Ebcdic couldn't you just transfer as a binary format with INET and have it work?

But the file is in ASCII format.
How i can tranfer as a binary file with INET?

inet control doesn't allow to set binary or ASCII
Use ftp command if you want
or use
wininet aPI

Ok, I find this to use wininet API
SAMPLE: VBFTP.EXE: Implementing FTP Using WinInet API from VB (Q175179)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q175179
And i find the method to convert ASCII to EBCDIC
HOWTO: Convert Between ASCII and EBCDIC Character Codes
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;216399
I'm going to try this solution, convert ASCII file to EBDIC format and make a binary transfer to AS400.
I hope that is works!!

I see your answer but the http://www.vbip.com/ don't work, and the solution to make a batch file i have tried.
But the solution of batch file doesn’t work for me, because i don't have any notification of the successful transfer.
The component in vbip.com is free?

roberto_miguel,
The link isn't working just now for me either, strange, I was in it yesterday, you may want to try it again later. The site has a LOT of tutorials on getting VB to communicate between machines in various ways.
If you want, I can give you code to watch the batch file running. My program writes the batch file to create a log file which I parse to check for success.
