Hi Raul

Which release of OS/400 are you on? I'm sure I used to have problems
like this on V5R1 but things are much better at V5R2. Our default
CCSID is 285 (UK) and I have the same DataFileCodePage=850 setting as
you. I can open/edit files with code pages/CCSIDs of 850 and 285 (as
well as others like 437) both in vim on my Linux systems and EDTF on
the iSeries. I prefer to create files as 850 for compatibilty all the
same (usually by QSH CMD('touch -C 850 /path/to/file') before
populating it.
