Peter,

I think you'd have to do a RTVDTAARA/CHGDTAARA pair to copy the contents. If you're worried about data area changes during the copy you could lock the data areas during the copy with ALCOBJ. You could put this in a separate CL program and write a Command front end to make your own single command to do the copy.

Hi list!

I need to know if it is possible to copy the contents of an existing data
area into another existing data area (same object attributes) and all in
one single command.

TIA and HAPPY FRIDAY to all!
