SQL recursive REPLACE command

EXPERT ADVICE
Setting up a dial-up connection
Tim Granatir, development advice

I need to set up a dial-up connection to a credit card processing company from our iSeries to send/receive transaction files using FTP daily. They will not support a PPP line, so it has to be a regular dial-up connection (56k). What I don't know is how the FTP process will know to go over the line and not through our Internet connection. This process needs to be put in a CL as it will run on a daily schedule.
