Thanks @chrjorgensen, it works. My userprofile CCSID value was set as “*SYSVAL” (so 65535).

@ghitti Even with system value QCCSID set to 65535, you should be able to make it work - provided your userprofile has a correct CCSID (not 65535!) and the SSH server is configured correctly. Please follow the guidelines described in the docs: https://codefori.github.io/docs/#/pages/tips/ccsid https://codefori.github.io/docs/#/pages/tips/ccsid?id=setting-environment-variables

If your sourcefiles have CCSID 65535, you may be able to set your desired CCSID in Source file CCSID in the settings for the connection in Code for IBM i:

However, we strongly advice to get your CCSID and SSH configurations right, so you can enable and use SQL to read your source file and member information - this would the best solution.

If you are getting that issue with CPYTOSTMF with 1208 outside of Code for IBM i, it’s likely a system issue. I am doing some research to see what might cause that.
