This is new to me to write to files in the IFS.

I have writing to a file used as a log file. The program worked at some
point, but changed. Now it is writing to the log file, but it does not in a
readable form.

It could be that the file thinks it's ASCII, but the RPG program is writing EBCDIC.

Or vice-versa.

I think I vaguely remember there being a way to have DSPF and EDTF use a different codepage from what the file thinks it is.
