Re: CPYFRMSTMF & character conversion

I have a process that uses CPYFRMSTMF to copy stream files in the QNTC file system into a flat PF. The stream files are CCSID 1252, and the PF 65535 (it doesn't seem that a flat PF can be anything else). This all works well, until the stream file contains French characters. In the PF, the French characters become two characters.

What do you *want* the PF to contain? What's the actual encoding of
the data within that file? (CCSID is just file metadata amounting to a
wishful label, and 65535 simply means that particular label is blank.)

Any suggestions on how to get the conversion done?
Stream file -> ??? -> Flat PF

Yeah, use Python of course. In particular, I highly recommend
iSeriesPython (mainly because it has more "direct" access to PFs than
IBM's 5733-OPS Pythons do).
