Receiving Text Files on the AS/400 System to the QSYS.LIB File
System
Because the AS/400 QSYS.LIB file system internally supports a record structure,
the AS/400 FTP converts files received on the AS/400 system into a record
structure and converts files sent from the AS/400 system into the FTP file structure.
Text files received on the AS/400 system by FTP are converted into a record
structure in the following manner:
v When AS/400 FTP receives a file and that file already exists on the AS/400
system, the record length of the existing file is used.
v When AS/400 FTP creates a new file on the AS/400 system, it uses the length
(excluding trailing spaces) of the longest line or record in the file as the record
length of the file.
Text files sent from the AS/400 system by FTP are converted into a file structure by
removing the trailing blanks from each line or record and sending the truncated
record.
