I've never had to work with the IFS and believed that it was a way to "share" documents on the iSeries and Network.
I thought that if you had a folder, within a path on the network, and had defined that same folder/path in the IFS that you could drop data into the windows folder and see/work it from the IFS.
I thought that this was something that happened automagically.
I thought wrong.
(Not the first time, certainly not the last)
SO, the network guys created \\fileserver\frostyfolder\frostysubfolder on the network.
The iSeries admin created a similar setup w/in the IFS.
However the data that is in the network folder is not shown in the IFS.
What do I need to do to have the IFS folder "see" the files on the network?
Reading the manuals, I might be able to use CPYFRMIMPF (copy from import file) or CPYFRMSTMF (copy from stream file)
to get the data once it is in the IFS.
