I have a weird problem.

When I use the CPYTOIMPF command to copy a database file, specifying code
page 437 for the PC file, the AS/400 doesn't seem to convert the data to
ASCII. When I look at the file using WRKLNK I get a codepage error which
says that the data looks like EBCDIC so code page 500 is being used to
display it. On the PC side it is garbled.

This used to work fine under the previous release (V4R5).
