The other thing I'd try if pre-creating the file didn't work for some

transfer.


Tried that, got CPD322D:
"Explicitly specified CCSIDs or file restrictions present."
Don't know how "explicit" applies here, unless it's FTP "under the covers".



I suppose SQL with CAST might do it, but then the file itself is still
wrong... you're just doing a workaround when you read it. For me, I'd
want my file to be correct so no workarounds are needed.


Agreed. However, in this particular case, the downloaded file gets tossed
after the application is done reading it. I'm basically extracting data
from the downloaded file, and storing the extractions in my own SQL-defined
table.

Thanks again, Scott!
