<h1 class="topictitle1">Date, time, and timestamp fields using FMTOPT(*MAP) or FMTOPT(*NOCHK)</h1>
<div><div class="p">You must specify FMTOPT(*MAP) or FMTOPT(*NOCHK) on the CPYF command in
any of the follow cases:<ul><li>The from-file is a database data file.</li>
<li>The to-file is a physical data file.</li>
<li>The record formats are not identical.</li>
</ul>
Corresponding date, time, and timestamp fields in the from-file and
to-file must have the same format attribute and separator for the record formats
to be identical. For the <a href="../cl/cpyfrmqryf.htm">CPYFRMQRYF</a> command,
the same is true except that the open query file record format is used (rather
than a from-file format).</div>
<p>When using FMTOPT(*NOCHK), record data is copied directly from left to
right into the to-file without any regard to field types.</p>
<p>When using FMTOPT(*CVTSRC), data portions of records are directly copied
from left to right into the to-file without any regard to the field types.</p>
<p>When using FMTOPT(*DROP), fields in the from-file but not in the to-file
are dropped. If any like-named fields in the from-file and to-file are date,
time, or timestamp fields, the corresponding field must be the same type,
have the same format attribute and separator, and have the same relative position
in the record format as the like-named field, otherwise FMTOPT(*MAP) might
also be required.</p>
<p>FMTOPT(*MAP) allows copying between like date, time, and timestamp field
types regardless of the format or separator. Also, copies from and to date,
time, and timestamp fields are allowed from and to zoned-decimal or character
field types, provided the lengths, formats, and values can be converted. FMTOPT(*MAP)
is required in this case for conversion to the to-field type (format and separator,
if it applies).</p>
<p><a href="#rbal3dt__rbal3tas">Table 1</a> outlines the conversion possibilities
for the date, time, and timestamp.</p>

<div class="p"><strong><em>When converting a character field to a date, time, or timestamp field;</em></strong> FMTOPT(*MAP)
is specified; and the corresponding from- and to-field names match; an attempt
is made to determine what similar date form the character field is in. The
following rules applies: <ul><li><strong><em>For converting a character field to a date field,</em></strong> the minimum
length required for the character field is 6. The server first determines
if the character field data is in the same format and has the same separator
as specified in the current job under which the copy command is running. This
might be *MDY, *DMY, *YMD, or *JUL for the format and slash (/), hyphen (-),
period (.), comma (,), or blank ( ) for the separator. If the character field
is not in the current job specified format and separator form, it determines
if it is in one of the SAA formats (*ISO, *USA, *EUR, or *JIS), or if it is
in a YYYYDDD form (no separator). If the server determines the character field
is in one of the these forms, it converts it to the date to-field. The date
portion of the character field must be left justified and can contain trailing
blanks.</li>
<li><strong><em>For converting a character field to a time field,</em></strong> the minimum
length required for the character field is 4. The server first determines
if the character field data is in the same format and has the same separator
as specified in the current job under which the copy command is running. This
might be *HMS for the format and colon (:), comma (,), period (.), or blank
( ) for the separator. If the character field is not in the current job specified
format and separator form, the server determines if it is in one of the SAA formats
(*ISO, *USA, *EUR, or *JIS). If the server determines the character field
is in one of these forms, it converts it to the time to-field. The time portion
of the character field must be left justified and can contain trailing blanks.</li>
<li><strong><em>For converting a character field to a timestamp field,</em></strong> the
minimum length required for the character field is 14. The server first determines
if the character field data is in one of the following types: <ul><li>SAA format</li>
<li>YYYYMMDDHHMMSS form</li>
</ul>
If the server determines the character field is in one of these forms,
it converts it to the timestamp to-field. The timestamp portion of the character

length required for the character field is 6. The server first determines
the date format and separator attribute of the current job under which the
copy command is running. This might be *MDY, *DMY, *YMD, or *JUL for the format
and slash (/), hyphen (-), period (.), comma (,), or blank ( ) for the separator.
The date field is converted into the character field in the specified format
of the current job. For character fields that are longer than required for
the conversion, the data is left justified and trailing blanks are added.</li>
<li><strong><em>For converting a time field to a character field,</em></strong> the minimum
length required for the character field is 8. The server first determines
the time separator attribute of the current job under which the copy command
is running. This might be colon (:), comma (,), period (.), or blank ( ).
The time field is converted into the character field in the *HMS format (including
the specified separator of the current job). For character fields that are
longer than required for the conversion, the data is left justified and trailing
blanks are added.</li>

is converted into the character field in the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS form (no separators).

<div class="p"><strong><em>When converting a zoned decimal field to a date, time, or timestamp

server assumes the zoned decimal field data is in the same date format (no
separators) as specified in the current job under which the copy command is
running. This might be *MDY, *DMY, *YMD, or *JUL. The length of the zoned
