If you don't mind this 

SCHOOL 1100     N
000023          N
000046          N

N being null field indicator  *yes then try

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(BHOPKINS/TESTCPY) TOSTMF('/qdls/forcastx/testcpy.txt')
 STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII) RCDDLM(*CR) DTAFMT(*FIXED) NULLIND(*YES) 

Thanks

I have created a 1 field fixed length (16 length) file
on the iSeries and need to copy this file/s to the IFS
or a windows directory while retaining the fixed
length.

I've tried cpytoimpf using many different parameter
settings & also ftp.  In all attempts, the trailing
spaces are trimmed on the target file. I need the
target file to retain the 16 positions with carriage
return.

Does anyone have an idea how I can accomplish this?

An example for file F11001001 is: 
> denotes carriage return or end of file.

ISeries value: 

School 1100       >
000023            >
000046            >

Target value is:

School 1100>
000023>
000046>

Thank you,
Don McIntyre
