Re: Using CPYTOIMPF

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

It's my experience that when using IFS functions to access files in
QSYS.LIB, you must specify the member name. I suggest trying

    CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(V84WB/VENDOR)
        TOSTMF('/QSYS.LIB/MCLIB.LIB/BRD01.FILE/BRD01.MBR')
        MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF)

Alternatively, you could use the TOFILE parameter instead of the TOSTMF
parm:

    CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(V84WB/VENDOR)
        TOFILE(MCLIB/BRD01 *FIRST)
        MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CRLF)
