I must be having a senior moment here. On a V5R2 machine, I just ran a
CPYF command where I substituted a variable in a CL program. The shortened
version of the statement was this:
crtfile(*no) increl((*if ptcmpy *eq &coa) +
(*and ptloc *eq &loc) (*and ptpart *eq +
&part)) fmtopt(*map *drop)
In this example, ptloc is a 6 character field. The variable I entered were
the 4 characters 0893. I was expecting to retrieve 1 record based on the
combination of the ptcmpy, ptloc and ptpart fields. What I got was 7
records because the same part number exists 7 times for the company I
requested. The location field in these 7 records looks like this:
0893
089303
089304
089311
089312
089323
089333
Why did CPYF pick up all 7 records? When I ran the command from a command
line, and I typed 0893 as the value of the location. I got all 7 records.
When I made the value '0893 ' it worked fine. I need this to have an
absolute value, not a "looks like".
