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

He said "same object attributes" so in this case it's not an issue...

Thanks,

What if he doesn't know the attributes of the source data area? More
of a challenge, eh?

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!
