RE: SQL duplicate a set of records within same file

Insert into myfile
(select newkey1, newkey2, fld1, ..., fldn
from myfile
where key1 = 'ABC' and key2 = '123'
)

Sorry, you have to name the fields that's the way it works.

Subject: SQL duplicate a set of records within same file

I don't know if this is possible, but I gotta ask.

I'm changing a formerly multimember DDS defined file into a
single member DDL defined table by adding fields that keep
batches separate. On occasion, we have the need to duplicate
a batch. We were able to do this before via CPYF because we
copied to a different member, so there was no need to change
any field values.

What I essentially want to do is duplicate all records with
KEY1, KEY2, fld1, fld2, fld3, ... fldn to NEWKEY1, NEWKEY2,
fld1, fld2, fld3, ... fldn within the same file. Since I'm
handling a _set_ of records, it seemed logical to try SQL for
this. I know it takes an INSERT, but the examples I'm
finding online seem to be specific to a particular database,
or so it seems. It would also be nice to not have to name
all the columns . . .
