<h1 class="topictitle1"> Selecting records using a specified record format name (RCDFMT parameter)</h1>
<div><p>You can use the RCDFMT parameter to select records
of a certain record format to copy. Note that you can use this parameter on
the CPYF command only.</p>
<p>When you copy from a logical file to a physical file and the logical file
has more than one record format, you must specify a record format name unless
you specify FMTOPT(*NOCHK). If you use FMTOPT(*NOCHK), then you can specify
RCDFMT(*ALL) to copy all from-file record formats to the to-file. The command
uses this record format name to select records to copy.</p>
<div class="p">This example shows how you can use the copy command to copy records from
the logical file ORDFILL to the physical file INVOICE by using the record
format ORDHDR: <pre>CPYF FROMFILE(DSTPRODLB/ORDFILL) +
TOFILE(DSTPRODLB/INVOICE) RCDFMT(ORDHDR) +
MBROPT(*ADD)</pre>
</div>
<p>When you copy from a logical file that has more than one record format
to a device file, you can specify either a single record format to be used
or specify RCDFMT(*ALL) to copy using all the record formats. If the record
formats have different lengths, the command pads the shorter records with
blanks.</p>
