RE: How to copy a data area (with one simple command)?

Peter,

I thought the following CPY command would work

CPY OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/fromlib.LIB/fromarea.DTAARA')
TOOBJ('/QSYS.LIB/tolib.LIB/toarea.DTAARA')
REPLACE(*YES)

but I get an "Information passed to this operation was not valid." message
if the "toarea" data area exists.

Of course CRTDUPOBJ complains that "toarea" already exists!

If you are going to be doing this a lot, you could create your own command
that would delete the "toarea" if it existed, and then do the CRTDUPOBJ.

Have fun!

Richard

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!
