Hi Justin
Can you not use SQL?
Not knowing how many fields we are talking about on the file - lets say 5, and the 4th one is the date
Insert into COPYTOFILE
(Select Field1, Field2, Field3, current_date, Field5 from COPYFROM)

Subject: [EXTERNAL] CPYF: blanks -> Null

I have a CPYF command that's failing. The input file has a blank and it's
trying to go into a date type column in the output file. The date column
allows nulls, and I'd like CPYF to just put nulls. Is that possible?

TIA
