RE: RE:Help with qcmdexc

Although fixed, there are a couple of items for comment. First, to be accurate, 
the FROMFILE keyword never was necessary -- FROMFILE() is a valid positional 
parameter here. The initial problem was indeed that there was a missing space 
between CPYF and the opening parenthesis.

But further, because you had debug output, you could have copy/pasted from it 
to a command line just to see what happened when you pressed <F4> for the 
command. The missing space would've been obvious first. Once corrected, the 
format of the qualified names should have jumped out.

Debug output can be useful to the system as well as to the developer's eyes.
