Request for Data Transfer of ACS,allow extra columns automatically truncation and file uploading as with IAW even with ACS.

We are using IBM i Access for Windows(IAW) to upload CSV file and Excel file from PC to IBM i.
We would like to do similar processing in IBM i Access Client Solutions(ACS).

When number of columns of input file is more data than number of columns of Client file description file(.FDF or .FDFX),

If Data Transfer upload request file(.DTT or .DTTX)'s
(File->)properties->(Tab)Display->(Display options)"Display warnings during data transfer" is uncheked,

IAW: Extra columns is truncated to automatically and the file can be uploaded.
ACS: Can not upload a file.

■Request
As with IAW, even with ACS,
Please allow extra columns automatically truncation and file uploading if "Display warnings during data transfer" is uncheked.


Use Case:

Without using IAW, ACS can truncate automatically of extra columns and upload files.
