Re: CPYF blanks to zeros?

That's more than I have time to bite off right now.

My command does a DSPJRN to an outfile. The JOESD column contains the
entire table row. I use CPYF FMTOPT(*NOCHK) to parse that one column into
a clone of the original table. That makes it easy and generic. Switching
to SQL parsing would be an ordeal.

Thanks

Had yesterday off...

Perhaps use a SQL instead of CPYF and wrap the blank checking with a
function?
Side benefit is this gives you flexibility across releases where the file
format may change. ALL IBM i Memo To Users contain a clause warning of
this.
