Can "does not work" be explained with a message identifier & text? Or any other details? If not, what does DMPCLPGM show for the variables that will be used in the upcoming failing CPYF?

What is the relationship between having the files declared and the copy-file command? If the &B_YYMMDD is a CL variable name for the field name B_YYMMDD, as the implicit DCL generated for one of the files named on DCLF, does the character [string] data in these variables represent the field names of the FROMFILE?

I did not review for an issue using variables for the field names, but if the first request works, then the second should work when formed as a valid command string which is then passed to QCMDEXC [or another command processor]; i.e. eliminate variables for the field names.

Regards, Chuck

This works:

CPYF FROMFILE(QTEMP/QHSTP) TOFILE(QTEMP/QHSTP1) +
MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*YES) +
INCREL((*IF YYMMDD *EQ &YERYYMMDD) +
(*AND TIME *GE 230000))

I have a cl with 3 files, I have all 3 declared, when I attempt
to do this it does not work, is there a work around for this?

CPYF FROMFILE(QTEMP/QHSTP) TOFILE(QTEMP/QHSTP1) +
MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*YES) +
INCREL((*IF &B_YYMMDD *EQ &YERYYMMDD) +
(*AND &B_TIME *GE 230000))
