All I get is one record and it is not right.

CPYFRMIMPF looks much better, and gets the first record right,
but again, only one record.

CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('/FILEIMPORTS/RAF/Retail_Shipped.txt')
TOFILE(ISMKLIB1/FILE55) RCDDLM(*ALL)

Anything jump out on either?

Presumably the stream data in the from-STMF does not include any of the supported\recognized Record Delimiter (RCDDLM) characters\character-combination [aka End Of Line Characters (ENDLINFMT), or sometimes the acronyms EOR or EOL] of Line-Feed (LF), Carriage-Return (CR), or either of the combined CRLF or LFCR? Perhaps that is because in lieu of EOR characters, the data is /packed/ as fixed-length; the Copy From Stream File (CPYFRMSTMF) I know supports an ENDLINEFMT(*FIXED) for that case. For the Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF) feature, instead of using the RCDDLM specification, that type of from-STMF instead might be identified successfully using the Record Format Of Import File (DTAFMT) specification of *FIXED for which IIRC the additional input of a Field Definition File (FLDDFNFILE) is required thus also implying the record data also is not delimited?
