Re: WDSC CHGPF / CRTPF on existing file not replacing object

Hi, Bryce:

You could also do this the "old" way (e.g. before CHGPF existed):

1. rename the old PF (and rename or delete any LFs over that PF)
2. CRTPF the new PF
3. copy data into the new file: CPYF FROMFILE(oldname)
TOFILE(newname) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)
4. recreate any LFs over the new PF, if needed
5. delete the old PF (no longer needed)

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Like I said, I hadn't investigated it thoroughly, I just knew it wasn't
"working" as I had liked. I guess the work around is to create a command
to prompt the DLTF command and then prompt the CRTPF command to recreate
the file (if you don't mind data loss). If you need your data, then
you'll have to do it from the green screen I guess.
