Re: CHGPF - Cannot drop fields

Sorry Mark,

That's not an RDi issue. That's the been the behavior of CHGPF from a
source file since its inception. If you run it interactively in a 5250
session, it prompts with an inquiry message where you can ignore the
error. Running the command any other way, always results in a 'C' to
cancel the command.

[WDSCI-L] CHGPF - Cannot drop fields

I am having issues dropping fields with CHGPF and RDi 9.1.1. It
tells me it worked, but the file does not change and the log
includes a CPD32CE indicating that a C was used to reply to
CPA32B2. If I use CHGPF directly from a 5250 interactive command
line, I get the option to ignore the error. Is there a way to do
that in RDi? Not sure how you would redirect the inquiry message to
the RDi job as it is a batch, and takes the default reply which is
C. Just wondering if anyone had solved this without changing the
system reply list.
