Hello Dave,

I've managed to copy the data in a readable form.
Glad you found a solution.
Thanks to Rob and Patrik, also an interesting analogy I read on jam and jam
jar labels that gave me a vital clue (just because it said CCSID 850 on the
label does not guarantee that it is CCSID 850)!
Exactly. Notepad++ looks *inside* and makes guesses about the charset. If you have a file without any umlauts or accentual characters, it surely will tell you the content is supposed to be US-ASCII.
IBM i and predecessors have a flag in the file's metadata. But this is also no guarantee to contain the correct designation if something bad happened when uploading the file to IBM i.
It's a bit the same as when you rename a .jpg file to .doc. The OS thinks, it's a word file, but word (probably) can't read the binary JPEG format.
It comes down to find a way to make the text inside, and the metadata outside the file consistent.
:wq! PoC
