Hello pundits

We are using a home grown Java utility to upload (to the IBM i) external
csv transactions report files where some of the fields are variable length
multi multi lingual (English, German, Arabic, Korian, Hebrew, Japanese
etc..)
These fields (Name, Title..) are defined in the DDS with CCSID(1208). the
file itself is
CCSID 424

Browsing the file using Access for Web the data look fine.

I CPYFed data from this file to another same-structure standard (CCSID 424)
file and it looks as if conversion to CCSID 424 works OK.
i.e English and Hebrew displays correctly on a green screen emulation
terminal and other languages looks "Gibberish"

Now, when using RPG to do the same, i.e reading the file and writing to
another standard 424 file, conversion does not seems to work and all data
looks garbled.

What am I missing? RPG compiler paramaters perhaps?

Being a code page illiterate I do need your help
