So, when you use DSPF to view the IFS file, and then you use F10=Display
Hex you do NOT see the extra x'00'?
Sweet Mary! If you've already developed a program using Scott Klement's
tutorial why would you want to go back to CPYFRM...? Those:
- perform poorly
- have numerous issues since V5R3 handling CCSID
- Do not have the granularity of error handling as you would have with a
RPG based solution. For example, if you see this:
...,ABCDEFG,...
and that field is determined to be your ITEMNBR and your ITEMNBR is
defined as 5 alpha you can handle the error much more gracefully than
those IBM utilities.
