What do you get if you put 1252 data in a 65535 PF and open it in a 37 job? I wouldn't expect it to be human-readable.

I don't know. But, think about it, 1252 is an ASC-II code page.
So, the only way that the word "sample" (as displayed on Windows) will
still display as the word "sample" on the IBM i is if ASC-II to EBCDIC
translation has taken place.
WRKLNK will display a 1252 ASCII file to me in 037 EBCDIC (my job's CCSID). I can edit this file with Notepad in ASCII, and then look at it on green screen in EBCDIC (mapped drive). I 100% verify that the byte content of this file is ASCII. Spaces are x'20', not x'40'.
