Re: CPYF Behavior

CPYF FMTOPT(*MAP) works the way you want it to work.  Decimal to decimal,
decimal to packed, packed to decimal, it aligns the number to preserve the
real; value.  I do not believe that it rounds as necessary, probably just
truncates.  Character to character, it left aligns.

All

I'm looking at the documentation for the CPYF command, and the FMTOPT(*MAP)
documentation doesn't quite answer all my questions:

If the from and to files have a field called DESC, but the size of the
field in
the from file is 30 characters, and the size of the field in the to file is
50
characters, how is the field justified when it's copied?  Left or Right?

Also, if I have a numeric field that is 9,5 in the from file and 5,3 in the
to
file, how are the decimals adjusted?  Are they truncated (.12567 becomes
.125)
or are they rounded (.12567 becomes .126)?

Thanks
