Re: Copy Member

Thanks everyone. You helped crystalize my thoughts where to go.
The physical file is Accounts Recievable - BPCS RAR
The logical member is of the Invoices added in a particular "run" normally one a day, but sometimes several, when we have to bypass bad input waiting on corrections.

A better approach for the new reports (which are to include cost of raw materials included in the sold items, delivery tracking #s & other stuff) would be a new permanent logical 1st by date, 2nd all the stuff in a standard logical, with a prompt screen to specify what date we want to run the new reports for.

I'm on V5R1.

I want to copy a logical member to a new member with duplicate contents,
with different name, to use in new programs I want to test and tweak
outside the job stream. I do not have source code for the old logical
member. I was looking for something like CPYLFM.

A job stream, of a ton of programs, creates a logical file member.
Various programs access it via OVRDBF, they populate its physical records,
update them, use them, in the job stream, leave the physical data in place,
clear the logical member, and delete the overrides.

I want to leave the job stream as is, except before the clearing, copy the
logical member to a new member with identical contents, but different name,
to use in new programs to be tested and tweaked outside the job stream.

Is that doable?
