Re: Issue in CPYF

Hari--

Can you show us the CPYF statement you're using?

Normally, the data in a physical file doesn't include an actual decimal point character-- so your 12.34 appearing as 1234 is normal-- the attributes of the fields in the file tell programs where to put the decimal point.

Hi

I am using CPYF to copy the contents of a Physical file to a flat file (of 132 bytes in length).
Here the decimal, float and negative data values are not copied properly in the destination (flat file) . Ex 12.34 is copied as 1234 and -5 as 5. Could anyonw help me in solving this?
