Re: CPYTOSTMF, CPYTOIMPF, - need to delimit physical records

Hi Gerald,

Yes, writing your own program will work fine.

But, if you don't want to do that, you might try something like:

CPYTOIMPF RCDDLM(*LF)
QSH CMD('tr ''\n'' ''\034'' < inputfile > outputfile')

The CPYTOIMPF command would output the file with *LF record delimiters. The 'tr' QShell command would convert the *LF delimiter to \034 (Octal 34 = Hex 1C).

I don't want to discourage you from writing it yourself (which would probably work better in the long run) but if you want to use existing software instead, the preceding method should work.

I think that is what I will do.
Of course I was hoping that there was an existing copy command to do it...

thanks,
Gerald

Can you write a program to cycle through the file and output to IFS translating X'0D25' to X'1C'?

yes,
I thought that *EOR would be good, but it can't be used unless the
file is a source physical file or CCSID 66655.
The other options (*CR,*LF) don't seem to work.

Actually, I was thinking RCDDLM(x'1C').

John Y.

When I try that I get:
11 - The RCDDLM parameter for a stream file can only be *CR, *CRLF,
*LF, or *LFCR and for a data base file the RCDDLM parameter can be *EOR
or a valid value.
