Re: CPYTOIMPF/CPYTOSTMF

Evan,

The code page is determined by the target file or file system.  In the file 
systems 
provided by IBM, I don't think you can simply change the code page attribute.  
I have not tried, but it should be possible to do with APIs. 

The easiest way I have come up with to do this is the following (I would love 
to 
hear of an easier way):

CRTPF mylib/tempfile RCDLEN(1)

CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/tempfile.file/tempfile.mbr') TOSTMF('/qdl
s/myfolder/temp367') CVTDTA(*NONE) DBFCCSID(00367)

You can then use this file in a program to clone the CCSID like:

CPYDOC FROMDOC(temp367) FROMFLR(myfolder) TODOC(&IMPFNAM) 
TOFLR(&IMPF) REPLACE(*YES)

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(fromlib/fromfile) TOSTMF(&IMPF *TCAT &IMPFNAM) 
MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF)

My program used QCMDEXC so I am not sure whether the TOSTMF parameter 
will accept an expression, if it doesn't you can build this value in a single 
variable.

David, thanks for your reply

This is basically what I attempted, but I haven't been able to get a handle
on what causes my output to look like garbage. In fact, your commands are
exactly what I *expected* ought to be the sequence for using this command.

The problem is that after the first copy, a file exists in QDLS that looks
to be full of rubbish characters when I examine it. I'm guessing it's some
kind of translation error, maybe to so with the code page or character set
or some parameter like that, but haven't been able to solve it so far.

At least your reply tells me I'm on the right track

Cheers
Evan Harris
