Hiya Robert,

CCSID 1208 is a CCSID, not a code page. So, it won't work with STMFCODPAG, which specifies a code page. In newer releases, the CPYTOSTMF command has a STMFCCSID parameter for CCSID support, but I see you mention that you are still at V5R4 (despite that this is no longer supported by IBM...)

Still, it should be possible to solve your problem another way besides CPYTOSTMF. Can you explain what you plan to use this for?

I have a flat file on the system that I am copying it to the IFS using
the CPYTOSTMF command. So far I am getting it to download successfully
with STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII). The vendor is requiring the data in this
STMF be in UTF-8 format. I have tried changing the CCSID on the
CPYTOSTMF command to STMFCODPAG(1208). Unfortunately, this errors out
telling me the conversion can't be performed.

Has anyone done this successfully before?

Thanks,

Robert
