Oliver, not a CCSID issue. It's because of the way signs are handled in zoned data. The sign is in the first nybble (spelling, Simon?) of the last character. That's why it gets lost. E.g., I just tried it with a negative number with 7 in the units position - comes through as 'P'.

So you probably need to use CPYTOIMPF.

The Unix server belongs to our corporate headquarter in the US. I have only
very limited access. The AS/400 physical file has numeric fields and the
negative numbers don't get transferred correctly.

Could this be a CCSID problem? We have CCSID 273 on the files, while US
uses 37.
