The CL commands to copy files around the IFS is way too slow.
When the routines copy a PDF file, they garbage the output file.
Most text files are fine, but some get gummed up too.

Later in the thread, you say:

It's a copy file function really. When I pass PDF files (and other
binary files), it works fine. It chokes on the HTML and TEXT files.

So, you're going through this rigamarole just to copy an IFS stream file?!

Which "CL commands" (more than one?) are "way too slow"? Are you
trying to copy from a stream file to another stream file?

And in the first quote, you say PDFs are problematic, but in the
second, PDFs are fine. Did you inadvertently switch the words around
one of the times; or is one method working for binary and not text,
while another method is working for text and not binary?
