I have a process that uses CPYFRMSTMF to copy stream files in the QNTC file system into a flat PF. The stream files are CCSID 1252, and the PF 65535 (it doesn't seem that a flat PF can be anything else). This all works well, until the stream file contains French characters. In the PF, the French characters become two characters.

Any suggestions on how to get the conversion done?
Stream file -> ??? -> Flat PF

I'm down to using IFS API's and doing it manually.

TIA
