Hi,

We're receiving a file via email and copying it to the root file system
on the IFS just using the DOS copy command.  When I try it to our local
AS/400, the file becomes code page 1252 and everything is OK.  If I copy
the same file from the same PC to the live AS/400 (in Sweden) the file
becomes code page 865 and some special characters are corrupted.

I can't see anywhere to tell the 400 what the code page should be.  Any
ideas?

Cheers
Robin
