Re: CPYFRMSTMF, adopted authority and QSYGETPH

It is indeed at least the third time these CPY...STMF commands are causing trouble. First the handling of backslashes was changed, then the commands were changed to use SQL CLI, making them impossible to use in programs called through Net.Data, and now the security requirements have changed. Yikes.

Once again, IBM is up to it's old tricks to change CPY...STMF and CPY...IMPF to thwart their usage. And people are under the mistaken impression that IBM maintains backward compatibility.

I'd abandon those go and just go to using Scott's stuff for accessing the IFS directly instead of beating my head against the wall trying to create wrappers for commands that IBM will only change again.

And it used to be that CPY...STMF was more immune than CPY...IMPF was to this garbage.
