Client Access CPYTO and CPYFRM

AS/400 Guru's

     I've used these commands to load a file from the PC to the AS/400,  but 
because of the translation between ASCII and EBCDIC I always write a quick 
and dirty RPG to recalculate the packed fields in the file.

     Using the GUI menu for client access on my PC, I was able to download a 
file from the 400 to an Excel Spreadsheet.  For conversion purposes I want 
to upload that back to the 400.  I dont seem to be able to get this to work. 
 I am under the impression that this process will convert the ASCII to 
EBCDIC on the upload.  This would eliminate the need to have a program to 
calculate the packed fields.  What am I missing?  Any information whether 
resource or solution would be appreciated.

TIA
