Create a stream file in RPG?

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm not sure if you're asking for ideas on how SMTP might be
mis-configured; if you're looking for ideas on how to process the
files given that they have the wrong code page attribute; or how
this might be related to the subject of creating a *STMF; but:

For your configuration, who is the recipient (OV/400, POP, etc.) of
the SMTP note?  Where/when are you accessing these files?  How are
you determining that the file contents really are 819?

For how to possibly get around the current attribute:

If you are on V4R4 you could use the Integrated File System
Qp0lSetAttr() API to change the code page from 37 to 819 and then
open the IFS file.

Alternatively, on earlier releases, you could change your application
to open the file in binary mode (no conversion to the job CCSID takes
place then) and treat the data as 819 directly.
