Q:
CPYTOIMPF - PC .TXT file displaying as 'garbage'
CPYTOIMPF, Copy To Import File, Physical File, AS/400 administration, IFS
Hi,
We are using a simple CPYTOIMPF command to move a Physical file to the IFS in a .TXT format.
CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(S4CMREP) TOSTMF(&TOIMPTF) +
MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF) +
STRDLM(*NONE) FLDDLM(*TAB)

Where &TOIMPTF is a IFS Folder & file name. This was working correctly until we recently applied operating PTF's to the AS400. Now when we try to open the .TXT file, it is showing all funny characters.
Anyone had this before? Is there a conversion table setting I need to check? etc
Thanks
Sally

Hi,

Have you tried changing the STMFCODPAG to *STDASCII or *PCASCII ?

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

Whe I try either of those options I get the following:

Message . . . . : The copy did not complete for reason code 1.

Cause . . . . . : The Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF) command, or Copy To
Import File (CPYTOIMPF) command could not be completed for reason 1. The
reason codes are:
1 - The CCSID or code page value is not valid.

Hi,

This works for us - STMFCODPAG(437)

Also, if the file you are trying to output already exists on the IFS, rename it to something else. It’s code page may not match what you are trying to output. The CPYTOIMPF should create a new one.
