Is this a CCSID thing?

We're having trouble getting a virtual tape image from a client, and don't
know where the problem is.

We've done this ourselves internally from one system to another but both
boxes are the same CCSID.

We had the client (in Latin America) copy the image file from their IFS to a
thumb drive, and send us the tumb drive.
We then copied the thumb drive file to our IFS.
When we try to add an Image catalog Entry (ADDIMGCLGE) from the image file
we get

CPIBC01 No Image Catalog Entries
and

CPDBC0C Image file not valid for image catalogs of type *TAP

The image file specified on the FROMFILE parameter is not valid for an image
catalog of type *TAP



When I look at the CCSID of the original Image file on the client's server,
it has 819 (Latin-1) as the CCSID.

When it appears on our IFS it has CCSID 1252 (Latin-1 for Windows).
My presumption is that conversion happened when they copied it from their
IFS to the thumb drive on their PC.



Am I way off on this being the problem? If it may be the problem, how do we
fix it?

Why doesn't the ADDIMGCLGE NOT see it as an image file?



BTW, the default CCSID on our development box is 65535.
