Check the Service Pack Read Me (Programs, Client Access, Service Pack Read
Me).  The here is an excerpt from there:


2.6.1  TRANSFERRING DATA WHEN THE FILE CCSID IS 65535
-----------------------------------------------------
   The Data Transfer function will not translate data between ASCII and
   EBCDIC, if the CCSID of the file on the AS/400 is 65535.  Uploads to the
   AS/400 file will generate message "CWBTF0005 - Data in this field is
   incorrect or does not match PC data type."  Downloads to the PC will
   complete successfully, but the data will not be converted, appearing as
   hexadecimal data instead of the correct character data.

   Data Transfer will now allow conversion from CCSID 65535 to the PC CCSID
   on transfers to the PC.  The AS/400 job CCSID will be used for the
   conversion.  Data Transfer will also convert from the PC CCSID to the
   AS/400 job CCSID for transfers to the AS/400 when fields are tagged with
   the 65535 CCSID.
........and so on.
