Re: CPYTOIMPF and Codepage

Hello Joe,

You could try and copy (CPYTOIMPF) to an ASCII codepage f.x.
STMFCODPAG(819) - target a new streamfile to ensure that the file is created
with the requested codepage.

CPYFRMIMPF should work with the default FROMCCSID parameter *FILE.

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
