RE: EBCDIC Stream File to ASCII

["Mike Silvers" <MSilvers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use CPY, prompt on it -- fill out the object and to directory (or the
object and to object) parameters -- set the TOCCSID parameter to
*PCASCII -- it is real easy :)

Subject: EBCDIC Stream File to ASCII

Is there a simple way to convert or copy a text stream file in the IFS
from EBCDIC to ASCII?  We have a 3rd party app that writes out a text
log file to the IFS but the file is EBCDIC.  When we use a file
share/mapped drive to copy the file to a PC it loads as junk unless we
use an app like UltraEdit to convert it to ASCII.  
 
We're at V5R3.
 
Thanks,
