Re: Understanding and Using OS/400 file systems

Hi,

>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'.

yep, that's what I am seeing. Or exactly, when I download the file to my
Windows
I see '0000P', but my american colleague says he sees '000X' ???

Well, but CPYTOIMPF seems to clear the issue. '-15' gets through as '-15'
and
then its ok.

Thanks,

Oliver
