I have a file that is copied to a text (.txt) file on the IFS each
evening using the COPYTOPCD command.
An end of file marker is added at the end of the file when this is done.


During the day, new records are added to the text file. The new records
are being added after the end of file marker in the text file.

The file is later copied back to work file, some editing is done, and
then the production file is replaced with the edited version of the work
file. The think the end of file marker in the text file is causing
problem with the copying. I believe once the COPYTOPCD hits the end of
file marker, it stops copying.

Is there any way to prevent it from being added to the text file after
the COPYTOPCD command?
