Actually, I tried CPYF *MAP first of all. Got a message complaining that
the number of fields didn't match between the files.

Does CPYF *MAP only work if ALL fields in the TO file get populated from
the FROM file? I believe it's okay to have additional fields in FROM file
that are not in the TO file but those could be removed using the *DROP
option.

Does a simple CPYF *MAP do what you want to do?

Or maybe:

insert into filea (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5, 0, 0, ' ',

CURRENT_DATE, '

')
select * from fileb where <...>

So fields 6 thru 10 get default values - they are not being used for this
process anyway.

Can't try as not connected to a box right now....

The fields come pre-defined and are not null-capable.

Will Charles' suggestion:

insert into filea (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
select * from fileb where <...>

also load FileA fields 6 thru 10 with default values - including the

date

field?

Thanks

Hi Keith,

If the date is not null-capable, then I would set the data to

0001-01-01.
