Handling data from the import file

 

The Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF) reads data from an import file and copies the data to a to-file. The data of the import file can be formatted by delimiters or in a fixed format.

Notes on the delimited import file (CPYFRMIMPF command) has a series of characters (delimiters) that define where fields begin and end. The parameters of the command define which characters are used for delimiters.

Fixed formatted import file requires the user to define a Field Definition File that defines the format of the import file. The Field Definition File defines where fields begin, end, and are null.
