Being both lazy and dumb, my solution is to pre-create the PC ASCII file using the application that I will use to retrive the data. That pre-sets the proper PC file format. Don't even have to know or care what it is. Then CPYTOIMPF works. I tend to believe that the CCSID parameter is used when copying to a souce physical file or a single field database file. The help is not clear on this.

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 +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
