Re: CPYF blanks to zeros?

The original PF are DDS (which is how it has the blank numerics), while the
clone is created on-the-fly via SQL. The clone contains all the DSPJRN
*OUTFILE columns plus the original PF columns.

Was your output file created with DDL? If so I can see how this is an
issue and DDL will not allow you to corrupt the data.
If you created the file with DDS then it doesn't care about data integrity
and you're free to corrupt it at will.
You could define your output file with DDS instead of DDL.
