4.5 but I will try it tomorrow on my 5.2 box.

I think I tried a number ccsid a few weeks ago before move the little
project to a back burner. Perhaps I will try it again.

I think the help text does state that if you do not specify the to file
ccsid the resultant file will inherit the ccsid of the from file. I do
know this is true at 5.4

Looking at your command string I do see that you have not specified a to
file ccsid.

What os version are you on?

Well Aaron, that works as claimed. That gives me a short clean way to
have
it all controlled from within a CL program.
Thanks

Can assume that I just package the QSH inside a Qcmdexe or does that run
as
is inside CL.

This is a neat way to do it but it's odd that one should have to resort
to
have to do it that way. I would think that having CPYTOSTMF create a
file if
needed would one of the first features designed into it. I wonder why
the
help text says it will do it.

I always create the file and explicitly specify the code page. Run this

from
the command line:

QSH CMD('touch -C 819 /CDPREPDVD/tcodepage.dat')

Subject: CPYTOSTMF and Codepage problem

I have an almost canned process for copy an ISeries file to a PC share
folder using CPYTOSTMF so that once the file is sent on DVD to another

site
that it can be added to an existing ISeries file using CPYFRMSTMF. The

file
contains mostly binary data so no conversion is desired.

To get the file to the PC I use the following: (This CL is a test
process
I'm using today to try to solve the problem)

CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('qsys.lib/JUNK.lib/tcodepage.file/CATDAT2.mbr')
TOSTMF('/CDPREPDVD/tcodepage.dat')
STMFOPT(*REPLACE) CVTDTA(*NONE) ENDLINFMT(*FIXED)

The PROBLEM is, if there is no existing PC file named "tcodepage.dat"
the
copy fails with this message.
CCSID conversion could not be performed.
Object not copied.

So I just create an empty file using any PC file editor and the
process
works fine.

In production the copy just uses the previous runs existing file and
all
the

records are replaced.

Everything works fine until a human gets involved and sometimes clears
the
PC folder after burning a DVD.

I'd like to have CPYTOSTMF create a proper file which it says it will
do.
the HELP information on STMFOPT fields says it will create a file if
the
file is not there. I can not get it to do that and I think I've tried
all
the pertinent combination of parameters.

Using DSPFD on the ISeries file yields this CCSID 65535
