<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Create an import file for the data that you are going to copy to
|

|
a DB2<sup>®</sup> for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> externally described file.</span> The import file can be a database source file, an externally described
|
||
|
|
database file which has one field, or a program described physical file. If
|
||
|
|
the file has one field, the data type must be CHARACTER, IGC OPEN, IGC EITHER,
|
||
|
|
IGC ONLY, GRAPHIC, fixed or variable length. The record length of the import
|
||
|
|
file should be long enough to contain the longest record of the file being
|

|
|
sent to the server, including any delimiters.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Send the data to the import file or from-file.</span> Sending
|
||
|
|
the data into the import file causes the necessary ASCII to EBCDIC data conversions
|
||
|
|
to occur. There are several ways to import the data such as: <ul><li>TCP/IP file transfer (text transfer)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>CA/400 support (file transfer, ODBC)</li>
|

|

<li><a href="../cl/cpyfrmtap.htm">CPYFRMTAP</a> command

|

|
|
into multiple parts so that each part can be processed in parallel on an N-way
|

multi-processor server.</li>
