<p>The Copy To Import File (CPYTOIMPF) command copies an externally-described file to an import file. The term <u> import file</u> is used to describe a file created for purposes of copying data between heterogeneous databases. The import file (TOSTMF or TOFILE parameter) will be called the <u> to-file</u> for this command.
</p>
<p>Some of the specific functions that can be performed by the CPYTOIMPF command include the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Copying from an externally described physical file to the to-file (TOFILE or TOSTMF parameter).
</li>
<li>Adding records to an existing to-file member or replacing the contents of the to-file member (MBROPT parameter).
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Error Handling:</b> The escape message CPF2817 is sent for many different error conditions that can occur during a copy operation. At least one diagnostic message that indicates the specific error condition always comes before the escape message. More information on handling errors is in the Files and file systems topic in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.
</p>
<p><b>Overrides:</b> All overrides are in effect for this command. The parameters of the overrides that are supported by CPYTOIMPF are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>FILE
</li>
<li>MBR
</li>
<li>OPNSCOPE
</li>
<li>SHARE
</li>
<li>LVLCHECK
</li>
<li>RCDFMTLCK
</li>
<li>SEQONLY
</li>
<li>INHWRT
</li>
<li>WAITRCD
</li>
<li>DSTDTA
</li>
<li>NBRRCDS
</li>
<li>STMFCODPAG
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Status Message:</b> During the running of the CPYTOIMPF command, message CPI2801 is sent as a status message informing the interactive user that a copy is occurring. More information on preventing status messages from appearing is in the Files and file systems topic in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>During the time a CPYTOIMPF request is run, the file specified for the <b>To data base file (TOFILE)</b> parameter may be locked (similar to an *EXCL lock with no timeout) so that no access is possible.
</li>
<li>If the from-file has the SHARE(*YES) attribute, unpredictable results can occur. Therefore, if the from-file is defined with SHARE(*YES), the user should make sure the file is not opened by any process prior to the copy.
</li>
</ul>
