I didn't want to affect other jobs so this is how I solved the problem. I created a message file in QTEMP then used the MRGMSGF command to copy CPA3311 to it. I then changed the default reply to G. I then used the OVRMSGF command to point to the message file in QTEMP. Just before the CPYSPLF command I used the CHGJOB command to change INQMSGRPY to *DFT After the CPYSPLF command I changed INQMSGRPY back to *RQD Albert York -----Original Message----- From: D.BALE@handleman.com [SMTP:D.BALE@handleman.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 7:21 AM To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com Subject: Error CPA3311 when using CPYSPLF The only way the system reply list gets used is if INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL) is set for the job. Most shops I've seen leave the default to INQMSGRPY to *RQD. However, last week I ran into a situation on one of our branch boxes where I had a job fill up a file with the maximum number of records (10000 + 1000 * 3) and, since this was a long running job, I added an entry to the system reply list to keep extending the file. I was surprised when I went to change the job's INQMSGRPY and found that it was already set to *SYSRPYL. I didn't think much of it until I saw Simon's reply. I removed my entry for automatically extending the file and found that the job description I was told to use defaults to use INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL). Now I have to find out why. So, I guess I would suggest using INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL) to solve your problem, but keep mindful that other jobs may be affected if *SYSRPYL is used. In this particular case, your CPA3311 error should be fairly isolated, don't you think? You can use the CMPDTA parameter in your reply list entry to narrow down the situations where your default reply is applied, but I've never used this and so can't say for certain how it could help you in your particular situation. Dan Bale IT - AS/400 Handleman Company 248-362-4400 Ext. 4952 -------------------------- Original Message -------------------------- I have a program that uses CPYSPLF to copy a spool file to a data base file. With some spool files I get the error message CPA3311 (Attributes of file not supported). If I answer with 'G' it copies the data that I need. Is there any way to prevent this message from coming up? If not is there any way to automatically respond with 'G'? I don't want to add the message to the system reply list. I only want it to default to 'G' in my job. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
