I guess that is why a file that worked beautifully at V4R4 now comes across
as gibberish in V5R1 ?  The streamfile originally had the CCSID of 37, but
when is was sent to a PC, gibberish. I saw the earlier email about using
STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII) and tried that and I have readable characters.

 CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/msglib.lib/propinsp.file/propinsp.mbr')

           TOSTMF('/msg/inspect.csv')
           STMFOPT(*REPLACE)
           STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)

Ok, I've learned my one new thing for today, can I go home ?

That's right, codepage and CCSID are different things.  However, there is
usually a one-to-one match where a given CCSID has a matching codepage with
the same identifier (e.g., CCSID 813 == codepage 813)

At VRM510 the IFS starts using full CCSID support.  Prior to that the IFS
uses codepage support.
