RE: Copy from IFS CCSID 1200

In addition, both the CPY and MOV commands allow you to specify "From" and
"To" CCSID's for changing them.

Zak,

Have you tried to change the CCSID before the copy

CHGATR CCSID(850), for example, or CCSID 1252.

After running UNZIP400, output text files are given a CCSID of 1200

CPYFRMSTMF in text mode, it fails with CPDA08D: Encoding schemes not

compatible, complaining that both need to be single-byte, or both need

to be double-byte, or CPFA098: The CCSID of the target file could not be

set to match the CCSID of the source file. The only thing I've seen work

is FTP, but I can't require our customers to have FTP running. Any other

ideas of how I can copy these text files into a native file?
