The procedure works like this:
1. crtpf qtemp/work rcdlen(132)
2. ovrdbf pgmf qtemp/work 
3. rpg pgm write different fmts to file
4. cyptoimpf this qtemp work file for converting to PC ASCII
5. FTP IFS file to remote system

Yes it would have been nice if the programmers new more about the IFS stuff
and wrote directly to the IFS as PC ASCII but they did what they knew, fast.
Now we just want it to work.  Change to CPYTOSTMF and all works fine.
CPYTOSTMF work great for program described files while CPYTOIMPF works for
externally defined database files.  We are reviewing what does not work
still and changing if it makes sense.  Hopefully the developers start
learning how to create and write directly to the IFS.  Too much stuff back
and forth to banks and business partners.

Since you've got a program described file, you should be able to create 
DDS at whatever CCSID you wish for a work file that you could copy into. 
Then copy the work file with the CPYTOIMPF routine.
