Yuck. May I recommend that you give consideration to OPNQRYF & CPYFRMQRYF? If you look at the article that prompted the one you linked, at http://www.itjungle.com/guruo/mgo012302-story02.html, even Ted recommends this approach. I can't believe IBM let this slip by. Was this the behavior right from the beginning of CPYF on the S/38? What should be done about this? On the one hand, it should be considered a bug, and be corrected. Paul was lucky in that he discovered this in testing. Others might not catch it and pay a big price later. On the other hand, 25+ years of history with this bug with programs using it, perhaps expecting this as a desirable behavior? (Yeah, 'MI' *EQuals 'MIabc'; sounds like new math to me!) Maybe the "fix" would be that IBM adds another parameter to CPYF: EQMEANSEQ (*YES or *NO).
