  I realize a post suggests that DSPPFM and the RPG I/O are functional, 
but I offer...

  The "job started" message, in the second level details, will give the 
name of the job on the target system.  A WRKJOB OPTION(*PGMSTK) and 
OPTION(*JOBLCK) might show something of interest, as well as a DSPJOBLOG 
of that job on the target system.  I recall there have been issues that 
[may since] have been resolved for some CPYF invocations.  If the 
ERRLVL(*NOMAX) is specified on the request, I recall that would have 
circumvented each of those past problems [i.e. for which a\the PTF may 
not be applied to be prevent the issue] by causing a different code path 
to be used for accessing the data.
