Thanks for asking a good question Kimberly.  We do exactly the same thing.
(And thanks Mark and Dave for good answers).

I assume that since COPY and PASTE currently produce the same results, the
changes will be included in those actions.  If not, can they?  In the
meantime, I was trying to set up the user action to do it.  I couldn't find
variables for library/file/member of a COPY action.  Are they there and I'm
missing them?

thanks

I believe he was referring to the proposed change you suggested.  There
isn't anyway a user action can do anything but run the command you
specify.

Where should I be seeing those radio buttons?  When I create the User
Action? Or on a warning message?   Admittedly this is the first time
I've used User Action so I might be missing it.  Currently, when I run
the command, and there is a source member in the library I'm copying to
with the same name, I don't get a warning.  It just overwrites it
automatically.

Kimberley, you will have a choice, like a couple of radio buttons, to
either overwrite the existing one or specifying a new name.

Thanks for the information Mark, that did work for me and thanks Dave
for looking into providing a way to overwrite.

I may be asking too much here.. but is there a way to have that same
command run and if a source member is found in the library with a
similar name, to put up a warning that a member already exists and are
we sure we want to delete?  For the most part we do want to delete but
if our fingers happen to go to quickly, I want to make sure we don't
overwrite something without first being warned.

How about if you defined the CPYSRCF command as a user action?  It
seems
like something like this would work:

CPYSRCF FROMFILE(&L/&F) TOFILE(&L/OLDSRC) FROMMBR(&N) TOMBR(*FROMMBR)
MBROPT(*REPLACE)

>>> Kimberley Stewart 2003/11/21 08:40:57 >>>
Our process, when we make changes to any source file, is to copy the
original source file to OLDSRC.  In OLDSRC there may be older copies of
this same source.  I still want to copy into this library and just have
it override the one that is already there.

In a 5250 screen, this isn't a problem as I am simply asked that one
already exists, do I want to override and I say Yes.

When I choose Copy To.. in the Table View using the scenario above, it
does not give me an option to override the original.  Instead, a message
comes up saying that a source already exists with that name and I need
to give it a new name if I want to copy.

We do this all the time so I need to be able to override files with
same names.

Is there a setting I need to change to allow this?

Kim Stewart
