RE: csv output from cpytoimpf

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lance,

You have to set the code page for the output file before you run your 
CPYTOIMPF.  Look 
at the MOV and CPY commands.  I use a base file like ASCII.CHR which has a code 
page of 
367 and CPY this file to my CPYTOIMPF target.

Amen, brother.  As long as we are on the topic - in order to get an exterally 
described file into a comma delimited ASCII format that Excel can read, I 
have to do a CPYTOIMPF followed by a CPYTOSTMF.  If I do the COPTOIMPF direct 
to a stream file (which is an option) I get garbage because there is no place 
for the CVTDTA table.  Am I the only one who has to do this?  TIA, Lance
