Uploading files to iSeries and how to use the .FDF to upload the data.
Need help on uploading different types of files using the IBM iSeries Data Transfer utility. I hear you can use the .FDF definitions created from a download containing the same fields you want t upload. I just don't know how to use the .FDF to update the data. I'm using v5r4 iSeries. I'm interested in learning how to upload .TXT and CSV files. I did upload a file and got three fields, two of which were SRC fields. I eventually want to use the files uploaded as databases that I may query.
Here's an example:
C:\>ftp myAS400
Connected to myAS400.mydomain.ent.
220-QTCP at MYAS400.MYDOMAIN.ORG.
220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes.
User (myas400.mydomain.org :(none)): myuser
331 Enter password.
Password:
230 MYUSER logged on.
ftp> put deleteme.txt mylib/dme
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
150 Sending file to member DME in file DME in library MYLIB.
250 File transfer completed successfully.
ftp: 50 bytes sent in 0.00Seconds 50000.00Kbytes/sec.

I apologize for the late response ... I had a system crash and also needed to update my expert/Exchange account. You gave me what I was looking for and more. I really appreciate your help. Thanks Again, Alex.
Glad to be of assistance.
If your transferring just data, the easiest way is to use FTP. Skip the whole Data Transfer Utility thing.
If you need help with FTP, let me know, and I'll post an example.
