When upload by ACS IFS Tools, CCSID is changed.

Please add a option ccsid on ACS IFS Tools.


Use Case:

When I upload files ( UTF-8) to IFS on power, ACS IFS Tools changed files character code to 1041.
That's confused.

    As of 1.1.8.4, the CCSID for an existing file is no longer changed.
    This support is available April 2020.

    This sounds like you are uploading to replace an existing file. If that is the case and the CCSID was being changed, we will preserve the CCSID of the file being replaced. Will that satisfy the requirement of this request?

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.
