Paul, Bryce, Mark, et al,

It's not a matter of WDSC. If you submit the CHGPF to batch on the green
screen, the message is not displayed nor handled. We opened a PMR about
it years ago, but it never really got anywhere. If I recall correctly the
response was basically "Working as designed." I've always thought
"working as designed" is a pretty lame answer, but I understand the
challenge--how do you ask whether to continue the CHGPF from a batch
environment? or more generically, a non-interactive environment such as
WDSC. Sending a message to QSYSOPR would wreak havoc on automated build
tools. Anyway, the problem arises because you're either changing a field
to an incompatible type, deleting a field, etc. As pointed out, the
initial CRTPF in QTEMP succeeds, but the command fails.

[WDSCI-L] WDSC CHGPF / CRTPF on existing file not replacing object

I am trying to compile a PF from WDSC (WDSC 7.0.0) to my library. The
file
already exists. So I have attempted to use the CHGPF option. The job
runs
on the iSeries but executes a CRTPF to QTEMP and goes no further.



When I prompt the CHGPF is see this as the command this is about to be
executed:

CHGPF FILE(PJTLIB/APREF) SRCFILE(PJTLIB/QDDSSRC) SRCMBR(APREF)
OPTION(*EVENTF)

But when the job runs I get a CRTPF spool file output with this
confirmation
message:

* CPC7301 00 Message . . . . : File
APREF created in library QTEMP.



I have looked for configuration options on the CHGPF and CRTPF commands
but
have been unsuccessful finding them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Paul
