We are using WF 7.64 on a windows box.
I'm creating a file via a WebFocus program. I need to get this file over to our AS400 system.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
I tried
FILEDEF test1 DISK \\ohindibmp1\public\claims\test1.ftm
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS test1 FORMAT ALPHA
END
but I'm getting a error when opening file. My AS400 team tells me all the proper security is set up on the AS400 side.

If you can reach that location from your windows box, (Start>Run>\\ohindibmp1\public\claims\>enter) you'll probably need to map a drive to that location and reference the mapped drive in your filedef. If you can't reach that location from your windows box, a dos batch file which runs an FTP job would be your only automated option (outside of ReportCaster).

It will also depend on the credentials used to acces that mapped drive from you windows box).


Regards,

Darin

Do you have an example of a DOS batch file that runs an FTP job ?

Hello CHERI,

Try this.
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS CAR_AS400 FORMAT DB2
END

The DB2 table will be created in the default library of the current user in your AS400

Hope this helps.
Catherine
