RE: IFS file to PF Member

["Daniel Feather" <DFeather@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your response and sorry for my slow response. I got sick last
week. Anyway, I am filling the byte array directly from an
IFSFileInputStream.

I am using the IFSFileOutputStream to write to a PF member because it
worked. I was not aware of the other classes you spoke of. I will see if
those will do the conversion I need them to do. Thanks for the info.

The CCSID argument in the constructor only controls how the resulting
IFS
file is tagged in its attributes.  The actual byte array is written to
the
file.  How are you creating that byte array?  Remember that the iSeries
JVM
is an ASCII JVM so if you're doing something like "astring".getBytes(),
you'll get a byte array with ASCII encoding.

Also, why are you using an IFSFileOutputStream to write to a PF member?

Consider using an IFSTextFileOutputStream or SequentialFile.

HTH,
Gary
