Going back to the OP, couldn't he use the INCREL parameter - I think that's the one that used field names I don't know if it needs to use hex for packed fields - haven't tried that lately.

You're might be making this more difficult than it needs to be. The need to
use hex is due to your use of the command line. As you're in a CL program
just defined packed (7,0) from and to keys, redefine them as character, and
pass the character fields to CPYF. The following sample program
demonstrates this:

Pgm



Dcl Var(&FromKeyN) Type(*Dec) Len(7 0)

Dcl Var(&FromKeyC) Type(*Char) Len(4) +

Stg(*Defined) DefVar(&FromKeyN)

Dcl Var(&ToKeyN) Type(*Dec) Len(7 0)

Dcl Var(&ToKeyC) Type(*Char) Len(4) +

Stg(*Defined) DefVar(&ToKeyN)



ChgVar Var(&FromKeyN) Value(1)

ChgVar Var(&ToKeyN) Value(2)



CpyF FromFile(BVining/KeyedFile) ToFile(*Print) +

FromKey(1 (&FromKeyC)) ToKey(1 (&ToKeyC))



EndPgm


Hope this helps,

Bruce

Tim,
You can not use &key in that way. the variable &key is how a CLP (CLLE)
defines field name key (it places an & in front of the name).
You want to define a field in your program (call it key for example). In
your program, load the value that you want and then build your command as
'CPYF FROMFILE(LIBR/FILE) TOFILE(QTEMP/IT) CRTFILE(*YES)
FROMKEY(1 ' + Key + ')) TOKEY(1 (' + key + '))'

Build field key as a character value and include the X' as the first 2
bytes and the F' as the last 2 bytes.

i can do the following from command line:

CPYF FROMFILE(LIBR/FILE) TOFILE(QTEMP/IT) CRTFILE(*YES)
FROMKEY(1 (X'0563278F')) TOKEY(1 (X'0563278F'))

the file key field is defined as 7,0 packed.

i would like to do this in a cl program with a variable like:

CPYF FROMFILE(LIBR/FILE) TOFILE(QTEMP/IT) CRTFILE(*YES)
FROMKEY(1 (&key)) TOKEY(1 (&key))

im not sure how to define the &key variable and how to initialize it with
hex data

any suggestions?
