RE: CPYTOSTMF character translation

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WRKSYSVAL

QCCSID: Default CCSID (mine is 65535)
QLANGID: Language (mine is ENU)
QCHRID: Character ID/Code Page (mine is 697, 37)

I'm not real sure how all these fit together, especially the CCSID.  You can
specifiy the CCSID when you create a file, or it is supposed to use the job.
But when I create a data file on my machine, I end up with a default CCSID
of 37.

Not sure why.
