What is the message text? And if you have the job log, it would help to see the messages that come before the MCH3601.

We need to know more about what you want to do. Where is the txt file you want to copy? On the IBM i or on a Windows computer? (I assume you are using Windows.) What is the character encoding (a number on IBM i called CCSID) of the txt file? Is it Unicode (UTF-8)? Or is it ASCII? If it is ASCII, whi...

Hi Mike

Please send in more details - what are you getting, and what do you expect it to be? Internal job ID is a 16-character value, not the same as the job/user/number we see externally.

Correction to my post - the ftp variable is the connection - but you can get the error message if the result of calling ftp_get is less than 0.

As I recall, functions in FTP_API return error information - ftp_get certainly does.

Hope this helps with your ...

One way of printing images is to use the AFPRSC keyword in the PRTF - your PRTF has to be *AFPDS type. You should be able to find documentation and examples for it pretty easily.

This sounds like a library list problem - you need to find how to set the library list in MIWorkplace for compilations. We don't use it here, so I don't know where to look.

Anyhow, welcome to the wonderful world of RPGLE!

You might also consider the following - hour(timestamp_format(digits(TranTime), 'HH24MISS')) This gives you a numeric result, you can get that with the first solution, too. timestamp_format() is most useful if you need to do date calculations such as number of days between dates, perhaps. In the cas...

Hi

A copy book is a member of a source PF - it would have to be one of the source PFs in the library where you put HTTPAPI.

Hope that gets you in a helpful direction.
