By default the command adds this to the document. I believe you would get what you want by using the CPYTOIMPF on the first file (assuming it has externally defined fields) and inserting the character you want for the field separator. This would eliminate the second program.

You might end up with something like this:

CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(BIDETAIL) TOSTMF('/qdls/somefolder/textfile.txt')  
   RCDDLM(*CRLF) STRDLM('"') FLDDLM('~')

You could even put the file in some other directory. I prefer to avoid using the QDLS folder and create a directory in the IFS that I control authority to.
