Data is being offset by one byte or shifted by one character with DataImport report converter

Problem:
With WinSpool/400 and DataImport or report converters, data is being offset by one byte or shifted by one character during copying, causing some reports to be offset by a single column.
If the WSPIGCDTA data area in library WINSPOOL is set to *YES, then spool file data can possible be offset by a single character when copying a spool file. This field can be set to *YES when copying spool files with double-byte data.
[edit]
Solution:
The WSPIGCDTA data area should normally be set to *NO.
WSPIGCDTA only needs to be enabled or set to *YES on systems when users want to distribute double byte iSeries reports.
Disabling IGCDTA Parameter (No DBCS Reports)
CHGDTAARA DTAARA(WINSPOOL/WSPIGCDTA) VALUE(*NO)
Enabling IGCDTA Parameter (Double-Byte Reports)
CHGDTAARA DTAARA(WINSPOOL/WSPIGCDTA) VALUE(*YES)
