Re: Copying file with *nochk

["Joep Beckeringh" <joepb@xxxxxx>]

Çagatay,

Apart from the bug noticed by Dave Kahn, causing an extra record in the
output file, there's two other things I noticed:

1.  In the DDS you don't specify whether the numeric fields should be zoned
or packed, so they default to packed.  Yet, in the data structure that is
apparently meant for the output file, the numeric fields are defined as
zoned.  That means a CPYF FMTOPT(*NOCHK) would never work (the output record
would have some garbage where the packed numbers where in the input file).

2.  The redefinition of your data as field DATA is commented out in the RPG.
This program would only write blank records to the output file.

(Dave: No need for DOW/DOU wars here; typical case of primary file; no
C-specs needed at all).
