Robert -

Did you try sending the PCASCII file to the vendor for processing?

FWIW, PCASCII is a /subset/ of UTF-8...

Unless the vendor is expecting the UTF-8 file to have a byte order mark [which is highly unlikely], there is no difference between a file encoded as ASCII and a file encoded as UTF-8 - the data representation is the same.

I know this is not an RPG question, but I wasn't sure where else to post
it.



I have a flat file on the system that I am copying it to the IFS using
the CPYTOSTMF command. So far I am getting it to download successfully
with STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII). The vendor is requiring the data in this
STMF be in UTF-8 format. I have tried changing the CCSID on the
CPYTOSTMF command to STMFCODPAG(1208). Unfortunately, this errors out
telling me the conversion can't be performed.



Has anyone done this successfully before?



Thanks,

Robert
