Is there any way to copy flat files from an Unix system to Windows through ASCL?

Thanks

If by "ASCL" you mean DataStage then yes. But there's no point. In DataStage you would use an FTP stage; you don't need DataStage in the mix to do this.

Need to automate this thts why need to do it in Datastage... Clients don't have an scheduler...

Clients DO have a scheduler. Every operating system has a scheduler. In UNIX it's cron or at and in Windows it's AT.

In other words, the same scheduler that DataStage would leverage. You could script the whole process and schedule it through cron, or if you're more comfortable with DataStage, use a Sequence job to run the file transfer then check and do the notification if there are problems.

Sorry I must have clarified that... They do not want to use Windows Scheduler etc etc. I am aware of that Datastage uses the same , but we are gettign there... Will require some time to convince them.

Okay going back to the main question I blv Ftp is the only way I guess then.
Thanks !!

No, but it's likely to be the easiest. If "they" don't want to use AT, they are almost certain not to want to use a tool like Samba to mount the disks of one operating system on the other. But it's do-able, in which case DataStage could read from the one and write to the other.
