RE: CPYFRMIMPF V5R3 error?

["Cox, Joe" <joecox@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We ran into similar problems with CPYFRMIMPF after upgrading from V5R2
to V5R3.  PTF SI15133 for 5722SS1 fixed that.  In addition Client access
data transfers treated nulls and spaces differently after the upgrade.
Prior to the upgrade '' and ' ' were treated the same in selection
criteria.  After the upgrade they were not.  The PTF did not change that
behavior.

Sorry for the time lag,  I've been out for a week.

Subject: CPYFRMIMPF V5R3 error?

We just upgraded to a new 520 running V5R3 (from V4R5) and are 
experiencing trouble with CPYFRMIMPF in a process that worked flawlessly

prior to the conversion.

Nothing has changed (that I know of), it still works on the old
machine/OS 
version. The From and To files and the FDF are all the same.

I'm getting error CPF2845 - The copy did not complete for reason code 7.
   7 - The FROMFILE numeric field *N contain blank characters, or other 
 characters that are not valid for a numeric field. 

This is my Command,

CPYFRMIMPF FROMFILE(SVFDTA/CPOFILE) 
           TOFILE(SVFDTA/MAN010P) 
           MBROPT(*ADD) 
           DTAFMT(*FIXED) 
           RMVBLANK(*NONE) 
           FLDDFNFILE(SVFSRC/QDDSSRC MAN010PFDP)
           FROMRCD(1 5) 

So, what changed from V4R5 to V5R3 to muck this up? I read some stuff in

the KB about CCSID differences, do I need to take that into heavy 
consideration? The CCSID on the Fromfile is 500, the CCSID of the Tofile

is 37.
