I have done what you are trying to do many times, but I didn't use corel
photopaint. I believe the record length to the physical file has to be
RCDLEN(32766). Also on the CPYFRMPCD the following parameters must be filled
as follows; TRNTBL(*NONE) and TRNFMT(*NOTEXT). One more thing on the CRTOVL
DATATYPE(*AFPDS).

Hope some of this helps.
