Hi
In a recent post it was stated "Bottom line, I think it's pretty clearly
documented that BSAM/QSAM supports character set conversion, but only when
tape is involved. I agree that that's a pretty ridiculous restriction" and
this was for both OPRCD=Q and CCSID.
This may seem like a ridiculous

It's been years but I got involved in Notis(library) imports that were
Ascii 8trks. The first cut was OTPCD=Q, but it was a 'strict ASCII' that didn't

Yes, tape is implicit. OPTCD=Q only works with tape.
