This is not initialized in the IBM example. MOVE 0 TO CCSID-COMMAND-STRING OF QCA-PCMD-CPOP0100. This should fix the CPF0008 error from QCAPCMD.

​[[{“value”:”When Big Blue makes big announcements, we break them down and analyze them uniquely. But there are often a lot of little things that happen over the course of a few weeks, and we like to lump these together and give you the rundown. That way you are informed, but you can skim it.
So let’s take a look the things related to Power Systems and IBM i that have happened in the past few weeks since we last did this. Let’s start with a few price changes.
