David and Vern
Please ignore my previous notes on this subject,
Vern is absolutely right that we cannot copy and paste any other object
beside SAVF because they cannot be represented as a stream of bytes in the
clipboard.
In order to do this properly, the tool needs to know both the source and
target of the move or copy, which is why drap and drop is the right way to
move objects around on the IBM i.
So making sure that the target filter is open, click on the source object
and hold the mouse down and move to the target library. The operation will
be a copy.
(This is were the open as table can make things more convenient)
Alternatively and very simply, you can right click on the PGM and select
the move operation.
No need to go back to PDM :-),
I apologize for being to quick speak without double checking my facts.

As far as I know, the only object type that can be copied from one
connection to another is a save file. Programs cannot be copied. I have
rdp7.6 and tried to drag a program from one to another - got your
message. Tried dragging a save file, worked fine.
This is how things work now on the i - you have to make a save file of
any object to get it to another system. I'm talking of using FTP - there
is a way using the FileSvr.400 - whatever it's called - but that might
not be available through the client.
I wish the client could do what SAVRSTOBJ does - then anything could be
copy/pasted.
Now you can drag any member to another connection - just have to drop it
on the container source file. You can't drop it within the content list
of a source file, even though, to me, the icon shown while dragging
suggests that you can, based on other windows behavior. Sigh!
That's my experience, anyhow - maybe I'm missing something, too.

Hi,
I'm having trouble with this on Rdp7.6. I don't remember such a problem
on WDSc6, just that I didn't do it much because of the time it took.
In Connection1, I drill down into my object filter (or the same if I
drill into the libraries filter), select my program object right click and
copy.
In Connection2, I do the same. I have a filter pool with the same object
filters. The library list for the connection determines the objects
displayed. If I right click the paste option will show if I want to paste
in the libraries filter. I select the library name, click paste and get :
Invalid transfer operation
The source mylib/mypgm OBJTYPE(*PGM),
cannot be transferred into the target myotherlib OBJTYPE(*LIB:TEST-CUR)
Here, the target lib is the curlib for the connection. If I choose
another library, I get no message, but no copy either.
Bug or me?
