    This technical document provides solutions for making a stream file created by the CPYTOIMPF command readable on a PC. The stream file may be unreadable if it is created in an EBCDIC code page. The document describes two solutions: 1) Create the stream file in the IFS from the PC before running CPYTOIMPF, which will cause it to be in ASCII. 2) Use CPYTOIMPF to create the file then copy it to a new file specifying an ASCII code page, which makes it readable on a PC.

    Document Description: The CPYTOIMPF command may be used to create a delimited stream file from an externally described file. If the target stream file does not exist when running the command, the newly created stream file may not be readable from a mapped network drive on the PC. This is because the data in the stream file is in an EBCDIC code page. Verify this by displaying the attributes of the stream file from the WRKLNK screens on OS/400. Note the code page. The first solution to this problem is to create the stream file in the IFS, from the PC, before running the CPYTOIMPF command. This causes the stream file to be created with an ASCII code page. The translation from EBCDIC to ASCII occurs when the CPYTOIMPF command is run. If creating the file first from the PC side is not feasible, another option is to use the CPY command. Create the new stream file as you normally would using the CPYTOIMPF command. This is created in an EBCDIC code page. Then, use the CPY command to copy this stream file to a new stream file specifying TOCODEPAGE(*PSASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT). The stream file created as the result of the copy is in an ASCII code page and can be read from a mapped network drive on the PC.
