Re: Using CPYF with variables in CLP

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Darlene,

I see Ed's reply, but I don't see any response from you about it. I think he
has the right solution, but he didn't show you what he meant. Also, as I
modified your code, I noticed a couple of missing apostrophes. Try this:

 DCL        VAR(&FPRDN) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(15)

  CPYF       FROMFILE(&LIBRARY/&FILE) +
               TOFILE(QTEMP/BMHSP100X) FROMMBR(&FMEMBER) +
               TOMBR(&TMEMBER) MBROPT(*ADD) +
               CRTFILE(*YES) INCREL((*IF PRDNO *EQ +
               '"' *CAT &FPRDN *CAT '"')) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP) +
               ERRLVL(*NOMAX)

HTH,
