AS400 outqueue files need to go to pc for archieve.

My First Ask.  Be gentle.   I joined today and have searched myself confused.
Problem: Need to get files from the AS400 output queues moved to a pc drive but need to keep the splf date on the file listing for furture retrieval.  EVERYTIME I MOVE A FILE USING NAVIGATOR, TO MY PC, THE PC FILE IS DATED TODAY.  I NEED THE ORGINAL FILE DATE.  Would be able to put groups of files back to AS400 to see date if that is necessary.   These "dayend reports" files are a must archieve item.  I have iSeries Nav and ibm Access for win V5R4mod0.  Files are stored in outqueues with a monthly name.  Oct, Nov, and on etc.  FTP? Will ftp work? How do I get to the outqueue TO get all 4,000 files in there.  Is there some kind of wild card to get them all (LIKE GET THE WHOLE OUTQ).   I really need all files in each outqueue associated with dayend reports moved to my PC.
Further these reports are generated daily with the same filename with a different date.  Moved to a monthly outq but now taking 20% of our space so need to move to windows drive.  Got a 2TB on my system just for this purpose.

Heh, never mind... Gary's on the job!

Tom,

What I hate is when I've composed a long, carefully crafted reply, and then forget and do a toolbar Search for a reference and wipe it out.  I did that on this one and had to start over.

I've found through trial-and-error that the Undo button can usually unravel the damage done when pasting into the editor window wipes it out.

I'm trying to be responsive here.  I will now go verify if I have the wherewithall to complete the two assignments.  I sure appreciate the lengthy answer and the missing lengthy answer with the reference.  If I can't get it done from here I need to retire.
Thank you gentleman.
