==The Techy part ==
I was working a system and needed to download a bunch of db files into 
excel.  I could have done this a million different ways, but being lazy (as 
most good admins/programmers are inherently), I wanted to automate things.

Aha, I remembered, how about, CRTCSVF, the Create CSV format stream file 
command developed by uzaemon? ( see 
http://homepage1.nifty.com/uzaemon/crtcsvf_usage.html )  I found it online 
( here http://www.rpgiv.org/csv.htm ) and got it installed.

Grr, no dice, CCSID errors - iconv_open failed. EBCDIC CCSID - 65535 / ASCII 
CCSID - 00437 - 3021 : The  value specified for the argument is not correct.

Surely someone, somewhere, has had this issue before.  Google is your friend 
(  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=CRTCSVF+CCSID )

The answer was in the 5th search ( 
http://www.systeminetwork.com/isnetforums/showthread.php?t=25393 )  Change 
the DBFCCSID to 37 for the input file, STMFCCSID to 1252 for the output 
file.

==The Punchline==
And you know, the original poster of that solution was right.  It is a great 
tool and it was helpful to share with the 400 community.  Next time I see 
him, I will be sure to return the favor. :)
