Re: More CPYFRMIMPF question - Monitor for bad path...

Hello Richard,

I think you are correct here -- especially since the QACP296636 is a source
file!  I didn't actually look at the file object and got bitten in the arse
by my own assumptions.  CPTFRMIMPF creates a number of work objects:

        QTEMP/QCPIMTEMPS        *USRSPC
        QRECOVERY/QACPnnnnnn    *FILE
        QRECOVERY/FRCPnnnnnn    *USRSPC

where nnnnnn is the job number of the job issuing the command.  All of
which seem related to the conversion process.

Well, you won't get a PTF if you don't APAR it.  You should at least open a
PMR with IBM for this since the behaviour seems so wrong.

Simon Coulter.
