Re: UTF-8 STMF

Hiya Robert,

CCSID 1208 is a CCSID, not a code page. So, it won't work with 
STMFCODPAG, which specifies a code page.  In newer releases, the 
CPYTOSTMF command has a STMFCCSID parameter for CCSID support, but I see 
you mention that you are still at V5R4 (despite that this is no longer 
supported by IBM...)

Still, it should be possible to solve your problem another way besides 
CPYTOSTMF.  Can you explain what you plan to use this for?
