Re: CPYTOIMPF question - feature or bug?

When I run the same CPYTOIMPF command using as the destination a
folder in the IFS rather than a Windows folder via QNTC, it creates a
stream file in the IFS folder with CCSID(1208). When I run the
command a second time in order to append the same data to the
existing stream file, the appended data appears to be correct, which
makes sense since both the PF and the STMF are CCSID(1208).

So what about when STMFCODPAG(1252) is used on both requests instead
of the originally coded STMFCODPAG(*STMF) while exporting to a file on
the /QNTC as alluded could be attempted for a possible resolution?

Just a SWAG [without knowing about 1208\1252 or the actual code
points in the problematic source and target] that the origin for the
problem goes something like this:

cl> export from a field with ccsid(1208) to stmfcodpag(*stmf)
qcpexp> target file not found
qcpexp> if fromccsid(ascii_ccsid) then crtstmf(ccsid=fromccsid)

Using STMFCODPAG(1252) instead of STMCODPAG(*STMF) [in both requests]
would seem probable to effect resolution [or circumvention] such that
the QCPexport should understand that the intention in both cases will be
to translate the data from the ccsid1208 to ccsid1252.?
