Something "funny" going on here as CHGATR ATR(*CCSID) does NOT change the
underlying data, just the CCSID associated with the data (this is
documented, among other places, in the command help text). If the data
really was 1200 (per your initial note) changing the CCSID to 850 might
enable the CL commands to work, but your results are highly likely to be
incorrect (assuming you don't get another error such as one related to
record truncation since you have just doubled the number of characters per
line, etc).
Rather than 1200, was the original CCSID by chance 1208? Then a
successful CHGATR would make sense so long as the source file only
contained characters found in 7-bit ASCII. Anything outside of 7-bit
ASCII would CPY incorrectly, though you might not notice it for a while...
Either that or the file really was 850 or 1252 or 819 or some other ASCII
based CCSID and simply tagged incorrectly as 1200.
But in any case, CHGATR ATR(*CCSID) does not alter the underlying data.

RE: Copy from IFS CCSID 1200
Thanks so much, Carel. CHGATR to *CCSID 850 did the trick. I didn't
think such a method was feasible because I didn't think it would
actually translate the data. I'm glad it worked, though! -Zak Metz

Zak,
Have you tried to change the CCSID before the copy
CHGATR CCSID(850), for example, or CCSID 1252.
