Re: CPYTOIMPF

Bob,

You need to set the codepage for the output file before running 
the cpytoimpf command.  You can do this using the mov or cpy 
commands and specifying a tocodepage of 00367 which I 
believe is 7 bit ascii.  For full list of code pages look at the 
International Application Development guide on IBM's online 
library web page.

I am trying to use the CPYTOIMPF command to write a text file to the IFS
so that it may be used by a PC.  I am able to get the file written ok
using this command:

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(LIB1/DBFILE) TOSTMF('/DirA/dummy.s38')
MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF) DTAFMT(*FIXED) STRDLM('"') FLDDLM(',')

the problem is that it appears to be writing it in EBCDIC.  When I open
the file on a PC with Client Access, it looks fine(because i have the
extension set up to be automatically converted to ASCII).  However, the
PC that will be reading this file does not have Client Access.

Is there any way to make the CPYTOIMPF command convert this file to
ASCII?
