The CCSID argument in the constructor only controls how the resulting IFS
file is tagged in its attributes.  The actual byte array is written to the
file.  How are you creating that byte array?  Remember that the iSeries JVM
is an ASCII JVM so if you're doing something like "astring".getBytes(),
you'll get a byte array with ASCII encoding.

Also, why are you using an IFSFileOutputStream to write to a PF member?

Consider using an IFSTextFileOutputStream or SequentialFile.
