I asked this question on the midrange-l forum and got the following response from one person:
<quote> You can go directly from I to Z via ftp. Beware of Date fields and packed fields. Depending on which language the Z is going to use, it may not be able to handle it. When I do this, I make sure all data is character or zoned. I have consistently moved data from the I to Z with this technique. The CPYTOIMPF you can "format" with the type of delimiter or fixed format you want. You can also define the end of record delimiter you want to use. I would go directly from I to Z rather than CPYTOIMPF.
