Re: CPYF with V5R3

I don't remember this ever failing on any version of OS/400. It would fail if 
the field layout was different between the files being copied but never because 
the file already existed.

On our V5R3 system, when we issue a CPYF command and specify CRTF(*YES)...  And 
the target file already exists, the command completes normally and without 
errors.  This command should fail, shouln't it, since I am telling it to create 
the file but the file already exists?  It used to fail on V5R2 and below.  Can 
someone please try this on a V5R2 or older system ands tell me if it does fail? 
 Also, if someone on a V5R3 system could try it and confirm that it did not 
fail for you too, I would appreciate it.

Thank you
