Writing Ansi Flat file to AS400 IFS in E1

We need to write an ANSI flat file to our IFS from our EnterpriseOne product.
When we use we use the business function open flat file (D34A1010) we can create a file on the IFS, but it is in ECIDIC instead of ANSI.

Anyone has any ideas on how to create an ANSI text file on the IFS?

Thanks,
EM

B34A1010 works on IFS? I always found that it only works in AS400 libraries.

Hi John,

It definitely works on 8.11 because I am using it extensively. I can't say if it works on the 8.9/10/11 codebase in general. It may be the 8.94 foundation code that delivered the functionality.

Something to remember about 8.11 is that the Printqueue lives on the IFS as well. (again I haven't had the opportunity to test on the AS400 for the 8.x releases) It seems the runtime has been enhanced in general to make better use of the IFS.

Cheers,

Dear God, they are letting you cut code, Justin?

Back into the cage, you Package Monkey!

You can get it to read/write to the IFS by recompiling the module. In the CRTCMOD command there is an option called SYSIFCOPT, change it to *IFSIO. We copied the standard BSFN, and wrote a CL to recompile it along with a UPDSRVPGM to update the Service Program.
There's a few compile options etc in your JDE.INI that you need to include but it works great for us.
