Copy an IBM i Data Physical File to a File

This example copies, in text mode, a Data Physical File on IBM i to a remote UNIX system.

Note

A text transfer, by default, does not trim spaces from the end of a record. If the data set being copied is a fixed record format, each record is padded with spaces so that the record length equals the logical record length of the data set. If you do not want the trailing spaces copied, they must be trimmed.
