Selecting the records to copy<br />
92 <strong>File</strong> <strong>Management</strong> V4R5<br />
EXPDATE(*NONE) attributes to the to-file member. The copy command also sets<br />
the creation date of the new member to the current system date (not the date when<br />
the from-file member was added).<br />
When the copy command adds a member to a to-file that is a parent file, the<br />
constraint becomes established at that time.<br />
The following topics show how you can use parameters on the copy commands to<br />
select only the specific records that you want to copy:<br />

v “Selecting records by relative record numbers (FROMRCD and TORCD<br />
Parameters)” on page 93<br />
v “Selecting records by record keys (FROMKEY and TOKEY Parameters)” on<br />
page 94<br />
v “Selecting a specified number of records (NBRRCDS Parameter)” on page 98<br />
v “Selecting records based on character content (INCCHAR Parameter)” on<br />
page 99<br />
v “Selecting records based on field value (INCREL Parameter)” on page 101<br />
v “Copying deleted records (COMPRESS Parameter)” on page 103<br />
The copy command parameters for record selection (FROMRCD, TORCD,<br />
FROMKEY, TOKEY, INCCHAR, and INCREL) are not on the CPYFRMQRYF<br />
command because you select records on the OPNQRYF command.<br />
See the Database Programming book for details on record selection by using open<br />
query file. For a detailed description of all considerations for each parameter, see<br />
the CL Programming book.<br />
Selecting records using a specified record format name<br />
(RCDFMT Parameter)<br />
Note: You can use this parameter on the CPYF command only.<br />
When you copy from a logical file to a physical file and the logical file has more<br />
than one record format, you must specify a record format name unless you specify<br />
FMTOPT(*NOCHK). If you use FMTOPT(*NOCHK), then you can specify<br />
RCDFMT(*ALL) to copy all from-file record formats to the to-file. The command<br />
uses this record format name to select records to copy.<br />
This example shows how you can use the copy command to copy records from the<br />
logical file ORDFILL to the physical file INVOICE by using the record format<br />
ORDHDR:<br />
CPYF FROMFILE(DSTPRODLB/ORDFILL) +<br />
TOFILE(DSTPRODLB/INVOICE) RCDFMT(ORDHDR) +<br />
MBROPT(*ADD)<br />
When you copy from a logical file that has more than one record format to a<br />
device file, you can specify either a single record format to be used or specify
