RE: CPYTOSTMF character translation redux

It isn't clear what you mean by "translated incorrectly". Do you mean the
hex value is incorrect or that it displays incorrectly?

A dollar sign typed into the source pf shows up as something other than a
dollar sign in the stream file.


In particular, is the hex representation of the "$" (US dollar sign)
correct when the file is viewed in hex? If it is, then I'd look at the
character set being used by whatever device is doing the display.

To be honest, I haven't looked at the hex representation of the characters
... I really don't expect any weird translation to occur, as a dollar sign
is part of both the basic ascii & ebcdic character set.

The source pf is a standard ccsid 37, and the stream file code page is
*PCASCII ... that translation does not seem like it should be rocket
science to me.
