that are modified by numerous parameters gives you a great deal of flexibility
|
||
|
|
in the way you copy your data. For instance, you typically can copy your data
|
||
|
|
into existing files (or to-files). As shown in the example above, you can
|
||
|
|
use the CRTFILE parameter on the <a href="../cl/cpyf.htm">CPYF</a> or <a href="../cl/cpyfrmqryf.htm">CPYFRMQRYF</a> commands to create the to-file during the
|
||
|
|
copy operation. See <a href="rbal3copyto.htm#rbal3copyto">Create the to-file (CRTFILE parameter)</a> for
|
||
|

details.</p>
