Hi Frank

Are these PFs created without source, otherwise maybe known as flat files? Or are there several columns? I wonder, in the latter case, if you could maybe use an SQL INSERT to copy the data. You could maybe specify the lengths you need.

Just a wild and crazy idea!

Hi Folks, I'm looking for an easy way out or a trick that you folks might
have to avoid CPF2973 which is the commonly seen msg when copying from 1
file to another where the input file has a larger record length than the
output. Is there any way to keep the output file with a smaller recl and
avoid truncation? I didn't think so but I figured if anyone would have
ways around this or a quick way to avoid it I'd be happy to hear any.
Thanks, Frank
