Old habits I think. I write a User Command to do these

I'm not advocating doing that; only mentioning that there
are many ways to do things with WDSC / RDi / RDp.

Bonne chance!

Edmund,

Still doesn't work. I tried a savf. In fact I vaguely

recall knowing that was the only kind of object u could copy
like that. In the target connection I created an object
filter to show only save files of the curlib. Tried dragging
the savf to the filter : same message. Dragged the savf to
the library in the libary list filter : works.

Vern, nice to learn that at least you could right click on

an object then Save.

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.

Edmund Reinhardt

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?
