I'm familiar with CCSID 65535.

The CCSID isn't by choice, it's an OS restriction. The only way to get something other than 65535, is to make an externally-described file, and then CPYFRMSTMF breaks. Is there a way to copy a fixed-width stream file into a single column DDL table?

Did you read the document I referenced?

In order for translation to work the file must be in a character set that supports conversion. That probably means code 37. You need to find out why anyone thinks it has to be the binary code.

Without translation any two byte character in the source file will always end up as two bytes in the target file.
