On the file transfer properties check the CCSID 65xxx box.  This will cause
the correct file transfer

     I created an as/400 query and push the results to a file.    One of
the things I do in the query is concatenate 2 fields together one is a 1 pos
alpha and then I use the digits command to push a numeric to a character and
concatenate the two to make a new 5 positions field.
 
  When I download this file into query this field gets converted to
hexadecimal ??? 
 
D9F2F2D9F2F220030301   =   R2282   =    R ||  digits(2282)
 
 
 
  Any reason why?
 
Thanks!
