Set up file text conversion

You can set up automatic text file conversion in iSeries™ Navigator. Automatic text file conversion allows you to use file extensions for file data conversion.

The integrated file system can convert a data file when it is transferred between an iSeries and a PC. When you access the data file from a PC, it is handled as if it were in ASCII.

To set up file text conversion, follow these steps:

  1. Expand the system that you want to use in iSeries Navigator > File Systems.
  2. Right-click Integrated File System and select Properties.
  3. Enter the file extension that you want to convert automatically in the File extensions for automatic text file conversion text box and click Add.
  4. Repeat step 3 for all file extensions that you want to convert automatically.
  5. Click OK.
