COPYING AS/400 DATA TO ANOTHER NETWORK SERVER

[S.Mildenberger]

Look at the thread under mc.os400.sysadmin about copying from QDLS to NT server for a discussion about the QNTC file system which allows you to do what you want. Scott Mildenberger

I would like to be able to run a batch job that copies data from AS400 files to an ascii file in a folder that would be on another server on our network. The other server is not an AS400. I am already copying it to a PC file in the IFS. How would I execute a PC command to copy it from the PC file in the IFS to the folder on the other server ? Would RUNRMTCMD work ? Would STRPCCMD work ?

You could try FTP. I use this method all the time. As long as your network guys can supply the IP address, you can FTP to it from a CLP. You define all of your FTP commands in a TXT source member, then override to it. There's a bit of 'smoke and mirrors' going on, but it does work successfully.
