CPYTOIMPF and ASCII

I think I'm missing something pretty basic on this one.

We used to do a lot of PC downloads through shared folders.  I've always
assumed that the CPYTOPCD command did an EBCDIC to ASCII conversion.  Now we
want to start downloading through the IFS, mostly because CPYTOIMPF is so
cool.  In my first experiments I've found that I've got very messy data.
One of our PC programs interprets the files nicely as EBCDIC, and Excel
definitely can't cope.

Do CPYTOIMPF and CPYTOSTMF produce EBCDIC files, and, if so, is there an
easy way to convert them?
