Re: STRPASTHR in batch CL?

Tim:
You can create a DDM file on your test machine that points to your
production machine and then issue a CPYF on your test machine.  The from
file is the DDM file the to file is the new file you want your test data,
specify create file *YES, and you can avoid all the steps you mentioned.

Also, if you have TCP/IP configured between the systems, you can start FTP
to the production machine and issue a GET command.  FTP is quicker than DDM
and will create the file on the fly on the test system, however (as far as I
know), there is NO way to specify that only part of the file is to be
transfer.  (like you can with the IF parameter on a CPYF command).

Hope this helps,.
