CCSID's and viewing IFS file in a Windows Share

Hey folks,

This has got to be simple, dunno...

I'm reading an IFS file, doing some processing, and writing to another NEWLY created IFS file.

The input from the read file is doing great.

For the new file, done it a hundred times. The read file has a CCSID of 819 (it was created in an FTP script, then copied to another directory. (The directory created with CRTLNK is CCSID = 37).

Okay, I opened the new file with CCSID = 37 by default and tested great. The incoming file uses a tilde as a separator for the line/segment. All I want to do is add an end-of-line marker right after that tilde. Again, it did fine.

Then show-and-tell to the one other programmer here. He says he has to view it using a Windows share folder into the IFS, because the old process this is meant to replace is a Windows-based process and it breaks a lot, so he has to fix a lot, and it's easier than green screen. This one won't break so much, I'm writing it, but it's his call... :-)

So of course CCSID 37 displays as garbage in the Windows share.

So I created it with 819, still using x'0D0A' for the CRLF. This time it shows a new line when I open it in Notepad,
where the CR is, but shows the LF line feed as a weird character at the beginning of the next line.

So back to the code. Now I've tried CCSID = 1252 for the file-CCSID on the open() API for the new file, and 37 for the open CCSID. Opening it that way still shows garbage.

What obvious thing am I forgetting here?
