Copy data using data transfer function

The iSeries Access data transfer applications have the advantage of an easy-to-follow graphical interface, and automatic numeric and character data conversion. However, data transfer requires the installation of the iSeries Access product and requires use of both PC and iSeries server resources and communications between the two.

If you have iSeries Access installed on the PC and your server, you can use the data transfer applications to transfer data between stream files and database files. You can also transfer data into a new database file based on an existing database file, into an externally-described database file, or into a new database file definition and file.

The following tasks help you copy and transfer data using the data transfer applications:

• Transfer data from a database file to a stream file
• Transfer data from a stream file to a database file
• Transfer data into a newly created database file definition and file
• Create a format description file
