RE: Level check problem - chgpf

We have TAATOOL's DSPFMT and use it to check files.
I belive if both fields are DDS, you have to put something in the 'FMTOPT' option for the copy to work.
If you enter in 'FMTOPT' *map *drop what does the to file look like? Does all the data go over or is some not moved.
This would also tell you the fields that are having a problem.

Ake,

Make sure you use qualified names, MYLIB/HCSITR, on both the DSPFD and CPYF.

Make sure you're looking at the Record Format Level Identifier Record Format List
Record Format Level
Format Fields Length Identifier
FCUSTOMP 40 257 41A9D6D0DECE1

Show the 2nd level help for the message you receive:
Technical description . . . . . . . . : &7 extra fields in the to-file
record format do not exist in the from-file format. &8 fields have different
attributes or positions in the from-file and to-file record formats.

Do a DSPFFD, using qualified names, on both files.

HTH,
Charles

These are the files for the CPYF:

Source HCSITR      format id 42A0FD7F7A38F Dest   HCSITRLOG   format
id 42A0FD7F7A38F


Copy command:

FROMFILE(HCSITR) TOFILE(REXCOMHCS/HCSITRLOG) TOMBR(NEWMBR)
MBROPT(*REPLACE)

Errmsg:
CPF2962 "FMTOPT(*MAP) or FMTOPT(*NOCHK) required for copy."

The message says that fields have different attributes or positions in
the from and to -files

But as I look at the start and end positions and data types of each field in the two files they are identical.

Also the dspobjd *service shows same source file and member as base for the creation of both files.
