Re: Another CPO question

Hi Phil,

You're when you copy or rename a file, the CODE information (which is
stored in the registry) is not copied (or renamed) which is why you have
problems.
The way to circumvent this is to:

1) If you want to do a Get from to a specific local file, you can modify
the action in the Confirm Action dialog (click on the action and hold the
mouse for a moment - much like File Explorer) to look as follows:
CODESRV GET server lib/file(mbr)   filename.ext

2) If you want to put a file which has no CODE info, you can force this
with the "Put to host with replace action".  You will need to modify the
action so that it looks like this:
CODESRV PUT server filename.ext  lib/file(mbr) (REPLACE

See the following URL for the full info on CODESRV PUT/GET:
http://localhost:49213/cgi-bin/vahwebx.exe/vahelp/va400/Extract/0/qcodewin/evfgs40027.htm


When doing a File->New, the purpose of the Local File checkbox is to
designate whether or not the file will ultimately reside locally or on an
AS/400.  The biggest difference you will see is that if you do NOT check
Local File, then the file WILL have sequence numbers (as opposed to line
numbers only), even if you save the file locally.
If you plan on "putting" local files (ie files with NO sequence numbers) to
the host, you should also read up on the NOTAG options for CODESRV PUT/GET.

If I copy a file (or rename) that is local on my pc, the properties do not
change (ie "Copied from") and that can cause havoc when I do a "put to
host".

Is there a way to change those properties?  What I do now is get it to the
as/400 by doing save-as, then doing a "get from host" to update the
properties.  That's very time consuming.

Also, when doing a File|New, what purpose does the "Local File" check box
serve?

Thanks,

Phil
