Rick,

CPYTOIMPF with *PCASCII with a 65535 file containing only numerics (your first 
file, named
BAIRD) worked OK

you're way ahead of me.

Here is the command I used:

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(BAIRD) TOSTMF('/home/rothman/test.txt')  MBROPT(*REPLACE)
STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*LFCR)

*LFCR?  I always use *CRLF  other than the obvious characters, is
there a difference?

still didn't work though

I think *PCASCII is calculated based on the from CCSID.  Try specifying an
actual numeric codepage on the STMFCODPAG parm.  For example:

    CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR(/whatever) TOSTMF(/whatever) STMFCODPAG(819)

I tried both 819 and 1252 and still no luck.

btw, i'm on V5R3

I think i'm just going to bale and add an alpha field to the file and move on.

thanks to all,

Rick
