Note: It is possible for files with large record formats (many fields) to have the<br />
same format level identifiers even though their formats may be slightly<br />
different. Problems can occur when copying these files if the record format<br />
names of the from-file and the to-file are the same. When copying such files<br />
using FMTOPT(*NONE) or FMTOPT(*MAP), it is recommended that the<br />
record format names of the from-file and the to-file be different.<br />
Table 13 summarizes the database-to-database copy operations for each value on<br />
the FMTOPT parameter.<br />

extra fields in<br />

they are<br />

If there are extra fields in the<br />
from-file, the command ends. If<br />
there are extra fields in the to-file,<br />
they are filled, and the<br />
like-named fields are mapped. If<br />
there are extra fields in the to-file<br />
and the from-file, the command<br />
ends.<br />
Extra fields in the from-file are<br />
dropped; like-named fields are<br />
mapped; extra fields in the to-file<br />
are filled.<br />
