Re: Usage of CPYFRMSTMF & CPYFRMPCD commands

Have you looked at CPYFRMIMPF and CPYTOIMPF?  Those are more of the 
replacement for CPY...PCD.  IBM got rather tyrannical about code pages and 
ccsid's in V5R3 and beyond.  Even had to update their Memo to 
Victims(Users) about it.
Some people got around the V5R3 BS by using combining CPY...STMF as an 
intermediary between CPY...IMPF.
Other people got around it by not using the CPY...IMPF and using RPGLE to 
read/write from the IFS directly.  As a side benefit they found out:
- they could better handle exceptions like someone trying to upload a 30 
character part number into a 15A field.
- And, it ran FASTER rolling your own than using the CPY...IMPF commands! 
Run a CPY...IMPF in debug one time and see the SQL going on under the 
covers.
