I guess I'll have to rethink how this works. It's odd that it worked on releases prior to V5R3 though. There's obviously been some changes made to CPYTOIMPF or something deep in the OS to affect it. It's a bit of a nuisance as I used to email file members the same way. Now I'll have to somehow create a copy of the PF in CCSID 37 and then use the CPYTOIMPF on that. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "jsev400" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 4:45 AM > Subject: [Easy400Group] Re: MMAIL attachments at V5R3 > > > > --- In [email protected], "Giovanni B.

Is this an OS or mmail bug or is there an explanation? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Most low income households are not online.
