Importing/copying external EBCDIC files to DB2 on iseries

This seems kind of obvious, but we can't figure it out. Another company has sent us (via email) an EBCDIC file and we want to load it on to our iseries. What's the ticket? We've tried CPYFRMPCD and a couple of other things, but we get conversion errors? Any thoughts out there?

PRINTING OVERLAYS FOR MUTIPLE PAGE LETTER
