CPYFRMIMPF, and none *crlf record delimiters

["Richard B Baird" <rbaird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to copy a stream file to a flat file on the 400 using
CPYFRMIMPF.

the stream file has tildes for record delimiters, so I keyed in this
command:

CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('ifsPath/file.txt')
   TOFILE(mylib/myflatfile) MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM('~')
   STRDLM(*NONE) RMVBLANK(*NONE) FLDDLM(*TAB) RPLNULLVAL(*FLDDFT)

and I get the following error:

Message ID . . . . . . :   CPF2845
Message . . . . :   The copy did not complete for reason code 11.

  11 - The RCDDLM parameter for a stream file can only be *CR, *CRLF, *LF,
or *LFCR and for a data base file the RCDDLM parameter can be *EOR or a
valid value.

why can't I use a character value instead of cr or lf?

Thanks,

Rick
