CPYTOIMPF creates a target file with the same CCSID as the source file unless 
you specify otherwise.  It would seem that ROB/SPOOL has a CCSID of 819.

TOCODEPAGE(*PCASCII) tries to determine a corresponding ASCII CCSID based on 
the 
EBCDIC CCSID of the file.  The CPDA1CB message implies that the file 
/rob/spool.txt is in CCSID 819 which is already an ASCII CCSID.  So either 
specify the desired ASCII CCSID (probably 1252) or let it default to using 819.

1252 is MS Windows, Latin 1
819 is ISO 8859-: Latin Alphabet Number 1; Latin 1 countires

NOTE:- 
TOCCSID(*PCASCII) isn't a valid parameter on CPY at VRM440 so either:
        o you mistyped the example (although it looks like you used cut and 
paste)
        o TOCCSID was added to CPY on your release
        o TOCCSID replaces TOCODEPAGE on your release

I'm assuming that TOCCSID is functionally equivalent to TOCODEPAGE.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
