Well, after some major screwing around with various methods,
sheri sent me a link to a open source program called crtcsvf.
I downloaded that and it creates the file just fine.
Using Sheri's suggestion, I used 37 as the ccsid and did the copy
to the IFS and that created a file with a ccsid 437. I then opened
that file directly with Excel and it opened just fine. I also tried it
with Notepad and it opens it with individual records.
This entire ccsid thing is a mystery to me. I thought that was related
to different language versions of the OS.
I just don't understand the cpytoimpf and it's results.
I just ran a test using this command:
CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(TCS/SNPREM) TOSTMF('/home/patrick/snpremtst.csv')
RCDDLM(*CRLF)
That creates a file with ccsid of 37.
That's readable using wrklnk but is complete garbage opened in WordPad.
but if I do this:
CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(TCS/SNPREM) TOSTMF('/home/patrick/snprem437.csv')
MBROPT(*REPLACE) FROMCCSID(37) STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*CRLF)
It is readable in WordPad and Excel and the ccsid in the IFS is 1252 ???
Is there a correct combination to use if the file is to be send to
another site ???

You're right, you should be seeing individual records.
Try it in WordPad.
If it looks like individual records in WordPad but not in Notepad that
means you only half got the CRLF right. If it still looks like one big
stream in WordPad that means you totally blew the CRLF.
