RE: IFS codepage question

It sounds like a RTF syntax error. Although MS Word will attempt to fix up
subtle mistakes in RTF syntax, other programs often do not.
Make sure you start your RTF file with '{\rtf'  (without the quotes) and end
it with a closing right-bracket.

Have you considered using HTML instead of RTF? You have nearly as much basic
formatting as you do with RTF, plus MS Office will read the HTML and easily
convert it to native MS Word format.

Subject: IFS codepage question

I'm trying create a .RTF file via a stream file. I'm running into
problems that I suspect are caused by the codepage I'm using. For
starters I opened the stream file with a codepage of 819 and populated
it. When I opened the .RTF file all of RTF formatting syntax showed up.
Obviously that is because all of the data was translated as text. I then
tried codepages 427 and 850, but that didn't work either. 
Can anyone tell me if all I need to do is find the correct codepage, or
is there something else I should be looking into? I suppose it's also
possible that I'm not opening the stream file correctly. I'll post the
code that I have.

// Open 
RC2=open(TempStrmFile: O_CREAT+O_WRONLY+O_CODEPAGE: S_IWUSR: 850);

// Close file
Closef(RC2);

// Open again 
Open_Flag = O_WRONLY+O_TEXTDATA;
RC2 = Open(TempStrmFile:Open_Flag);

Thanks in advance. 
P.S. I'm not using database files so CPYTOPCD isn't an alternative as
far as I know.
