Re: Can someone post the link to get to the CL reference?

Hi Alan,

You're right, finding which commands ignore OVRDBF was not as simple as it should be. I double checked that the CPYF command doesn't say, then looked at the OVRDBF command, which says look in the Info Center.  Which I did, but had to try a few searches before finding this:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=overrides-effect-some-commands

CPYF does not appear in the list of commands that ignore OVRDBF, so presumably it honors the override.

You could also test it by doing an override, then a CPYF.

Here was my question, anyway, and the CPYF reference didn't help:

Does the CPYF command respect the file overrides in place? I know that there are a few commands that do not.

I think I got it.

Using three keywords, '"_ibm i" CL cpyf_" I got the more general "CL Programming" (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=language-cl-programming) and the directory of commands https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=language-alphabetic-list-cl-commands-by-command-name.

The trick was to include the command I was looking for, CPYF.

Just that. I've spent an undue chuck of time trying to find the right combination of search words and get too much riff-raff in the results. Lots of relevant CL links but not the reference to the commands. Never had such a hard time before.

So also is there a good IBM link where the references are listed?
