RE: CPYTOIMPF and ASCII -- MIDRANGE-L

Yes, the PTF adds the STMFCODPAG parm to the CPYTOIMPF command.

The PTF for V4R5 is SF62142.

For future reference, we just went to V5R1 this past weekend and you no longer
need the PTF - that parm is standard equipment.

Let me know if you need anything else.
