RE: Error CPA3311 when using CPYSPLF

I didn't want to affect other jobs so  this is how I solved the problem.

I created a message file in QTEMP then used the MRGMSGF command to copy
CPA3311 to it. I then changed the default reply to G. 

I then used the OVRMSGF command to point to  the message file in QTEMP.

Just before the CPYSPLF command I used the CHGJOB command to change
INQMSGRPY to *DFT

After the CPYSPLF command I changed INQMSGRPY back to *RQD

        The only way the system reply list gets used is if
INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL) is set
        for the job.

        Most shops I've seen leave the default to INQMSGRPY to *RQD.
However, last
        week I ran into a situation on one of our branch boxes where I had a
job fill
        up a file with the maximum number of records (10000 + 1000 * 3) and,
since
        this was a long running job, I added an entry to the system reply
list to keep
        extending the file.  I was surprised when I went to change the job's
INQMSGRPY
        and found that it was already set to *SYSRPYL.  I didn't think much
of it
        until I saw Simon's reply.  I removed my entry for automatically
extending the
        file and found that the job description I was told to use defaults
to use
        INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL).  Now I have to find out why.

        So, I guess I would suggest using INQMSGRPY(*SYSRPYL) to solve your
problem,
        but keep mindful that other jobs may be affected if *SYSRPYL is
used.  In this
        particular case, your CPA3311 error should be fairly isolated, don't
you think?

        You can use the CMPDTA parameter in your reply list entry to narrow
down the
        situations where your default reply is applied, but I've never used
this and
        so can't say for certain how it could help you in your particular
situation.

        I have a program that uses CPYSPLF to copy a spool file to a data
base file.
        With some spool files I get the error message CPA3311 (Attributes of
file
        not supported). If I answer with 'G' it copies the data that I need.

        Is there any way to prevent this message from coming up? If not is
there any
        way to automatically respond with 'G'? I don't want to add the
message to
        the system reply list. I only want it to default to 'G' in my job.
