We have a situation in which a CPYF, to load data from an older version of a file into a newer version, is failing because a field is being changed from zoned decimal in the old version to character in the new:

CPYF FROMFILE(&LIB/&RNMPHYS) TOFILE(&LIB/&CURRPHYS) + MBROPT(*ADD) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)

Any ideas on how to handle this situation?
