Hi Andrew, I'm a former developer at Eclipse were I worked with data conversions. We ran into the issue of moving files between systems on a number of occasions. One method we used was to T.DUMP the files on one system and T.LOAD them on another. However I don't think we ever tried moving files from AIX to Windows, so I'm not sure if it would work in this case.
When copying files directly to Windows the FNUXI utility needs to be used to do a byte-order conversion. I suggest trying it on the files copies by your client. You just run it on the target system for each file brought over from AIX. Note however that FNUXI won't work on Universe files that have a SQL header. For example this happens if a trigger has ever been attached to the file. The only other method I've used is to stream the file records over a socket connection and write them to a file on the targer machine. I developed a connector for Universe (designed to provide an interface for web applications) which makes it fast and easy to do this. This the most reliable method I know of to transfer files between different OS's since the files are rebuilt on the target machine in its native format. However, it would probably be overkill for your needs unless you need to regularly sync files between the two systems. Our business is providing development and technical services for Eclipse customers, so if you want to talk about this feel free to give me a call.
