RE: Problem with CPYFRMSTMF Using Pipe(|) Delimited Data

Ok, I'll try again.


There are special restrictions on the files you can target.

>From help for TOFILE parm....
"The file may be either a source physical file or a         
program-described physical file.  Source physical files    
with multiple data fields are not supported.               
                                                           
If the database file is a source physical file, a sequence 
number and a date stamp of zeros is added to each record   
as it is copied to the database file member.               "


Try creating a flat file in QTEMP with the correct record length, then CPYF
*NOCHK into your database file.

Ted,

check the name (the tilda (~).

also, check your joblog, and the detailed message descriptions therein -
there will be more info on why the copy failed.
