Re: SQL INSERT FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP) -- MIDRANGE-L

Sure that long name can be a pain; and for CRTDUPOBJ too [¿still?]. But of course the OP wanted CRTFILE(*NO) according to the given scenario. Also the long name issue should be easily resolved now with the new RUNSQL; likely via CREATE TABLE, though possibly to RENAME TABLE of the file in QTEMP which is then MOVOBJ back to the intended library.

So if I am too lazy to code the column-list or to code the dynamic SQL to do what I want, then the CPYF still serves a useful purpose for when the SQL is not as generous.

Just curious why not use cpyf? <<SNIP>>

Try this:
create table qgpl.quitethelongtablename (text char(50))
cpyf QUITE00001 qgpl/quitebk crtfile(*yes)
Yoink! CPF327E Alternative name for file QUITEBK not allowed.

I need to insert corresponding columns from TableB into TableA.
TableB has more columns than TableA. All the rows will be inserted.
I need the equivalent of CPYF FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP). I don't want to
specify all the column names if I don't have to. Any ideas?
