I think you're getting confused because DSPF translates the data to
EBCDIC before displaying it to you. It sees the file is CCSID 1200 and
runs it through a 1200 -> jobccsid (or job default ccsid) before
displaying it.
One tell-tale sign is to use WRKLNK on the file and take option 5. Page
down to the "Size of object data in bytes" value. Does it say 14? Then
it's EBCDIC (Hello World! + CRLF is 14 bytes long) or does it say 28?
If it's 28, then it's converted to a double-byte CCSID like UCS2.
If WRKLNK shows 28 bytes, and DSPF only shows 14, then clearly DSPF is
translating the data before displaying it...

Thanks! You were right, as usual. The file size was 28.
I did not know that display data management would automatically translate
the Unicode data in the stream file back to EBCDIC for viewing.
By the way, the system CCSID = 65535, but my PC5250 session uses CCSID = 37,
which makes my default CCSID = 37.
