Re: CPYF

Could it be because your programmer wants to be absolutely sure to always clear the target file?
I think that, if the copy from file is empty, then the data will not be replaced in the target file.

Hi,

I've discovered that someone is regularly doing this :

CLRPFM FILE(myfile)
CPYF FROMFILE(myotherfile) TOFILE(myfile) +
MBROPT(*ADD)


as opposed to this :

CPYF FROMFILE(myotherfile) TOFILE(myfile) +
MBROPT(*REPLACE)


in a standard test procedure. Has the programmer found a subtile difference that I have missed or could results be different?

Thanks
