I think this has been the problem with CPYTOIMPF - I would think *FIXED should honor the whole original data length - I think someone was thinking too hard - I mean, if I had the value 120061218 in one record and 020061218 in the other, they do not line up - so *FIXED is broken as far as I am concerned.
120061218 20061218The FTP solution fails if you have packed or binary fields. One could use the data type override as you did, or use SQL to generate a temp file to FTP to the IFS.
V5R4 added parameters to CPYTOIMPF that keep leading blanks - but ignored for *FIXED format - could try *DLM with no separator.
