Transfer data between an AS/400 and a PC.

If you're more comfortable with the PC side, you can use Client Access.br Here's a sample PC batch file to do a generic transfer from the PC to an AS/400.
It assumes you have previously downloaded the destination AS400 file in order to create the .FDF file.
If you're transferring to files with different names but the same fields, you can replace the "echo %3.FDF>> %1.TFR" line with the specific .FDF file name instead of %3.
