Folks:

I've got a perplexing oddity happening here.

Here's the scenario...

1. User enters some free form data into a source physical file
2. Under program control, the src-pf member is copied to a file on the IFS
using the CPYTOSTMF (using code page 437).

Pretty simple, eh?  Well, the odd part is ... if the user enters a dollar
sign "$" into the source physical file, it gets translated incorrectly in
the stream file on the IFS.

The source pf has a CCSID of 37, and the stream file has a code page of 437.

This is on OS400 V4R5.  The box is located in the UK.

I've tested it on V4R3 system running in the US, and it works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

david
