RE: CPYFRMIMPF

You can copy something from a library, and we do it all time here. As a
matter of a fact, if you prompt on the COPYFRMIMPF command you will see
that there are two options for the from - FROMSTMF, and FROMFILE. The
FROMFILE format is library style.

The problems with the question!

1. You probably CAN use CPYFRMIMPF to copy something from a library,
just that no one does it. The reason it MIGHT be possible is, that
you CAN refer to a library object using path naming, as is done with
non-library objects - things off of /root.
2. No one puts PC-style files in a library object - that is not the
purpose of library objects.
3. CPYFRMIMPF will do you NO good when run against an Excel file,
because those files have special structured data that the command
will not convert to a physical file.
