Re: CPYFRMSTMF: Copying Data from a Stream File to a Data-base File Without Data Conversion

If the stream file is in ASCII, and the database file is in the default of
EBCDIC, then the fact that you specified CVTDTA(*NONE) would explain why the
table contains garbage when viewed via STRSQL, QRY, DSPPFM, ect.

The system thinks it's EBCIDIC, but the data is ASCII.

You probably just need to let the system convert it, CVTDTA(*AUTO).

Hi list!

I have a file that I can "edit" (EDTF STMF(&PATH)) and "see" (DSPF
STMF(&PATH)) but I do not know why this is not working for me:

CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF(&PATH)
TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB/TEMPFILE.FILE/TEMPFILE.MBR')
MBROPT(*REPLACE) CVTDTA(*NONE) ENDLINFMT(*FIXED)
TABEXPN(*NO)

when I display the content if QTEMP/TEMPFILE, everything is garbage.

I want no conversion of the data, just pull the data and place it on
TEMPFILE.

Any ideas?

TIA,
