RE: CPYFRMIMPF V5R3 error?

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron, I believe there's a new parm (in V5R1 I think) for how to handle null
values.  CSV files with null values need to map to a database file that
supports nulls, or you must tell it to initialize the field to a default
value.

Subject: CPYFRMIMPF V5R3 error?


We just upgraded to a new 520 running V5R3 (from V4R5) and are 
experiencing trouble with CPYFRMIMPF in a process that worked flawlessly 
prior to the conversion.

Nothing has changed (that I know of), it still works on the old machine/OS 
version. The From and To files and the FDF are all the same.

I'm getting error CPF2845 - The copy did not complete for reason code 7.
   7 - The FROMFILE numeric field *N contain blank characters, or other 
 characters that are not valid for a numeric field. 

This is my Command,

CPYFRMIMPF FROMFILE(SVFDTA/CPOFILE) 
           TOFILE(SVFDTA/MAN010P) 
           MBROPT(*ADD) 
           DTAFMT(*FIXED) 
           RMVBLANK(*NONE) 
           FLDDFNFILE(SVFSRC/QDDSSRC MAN010PFDP)
           FROMRCD(1 5) 

So, what changed from V4R5 to V5R3 to muck this up? I read some stuff in 
the KB about CCSID differences, do I need to take that into heavy 
consideration? The CCSID on the Fromfile is 500, the CCSID of the Tofile 
is 37.
