Hello everyone.  
I need to copy data from Adabas BS200 to Adabas Windows; with utilities the FDT and data don´t matching and with Natural program, multiple fielsd and pediodic groups give me trouble.  
Anyone know how to solve my problem.  
I would appreciate any suggestions.

In the broad strokes:  
. unload mainframe FDT via Object Handler (transfer format)  
. decompress file on mainframe  
. FTP FDT to Windows server  
. FTP decompressed file to Windows server (BINARY option)  
. load FDT via Object Handler  
. compress file  
. load file

The tricky bits are in the details, such as:  
. RDW option  
. record\_structure parameter

Search the Forum archives for “migration” and “mainframe windows”.
