<h1 class="topictitle1">File types and copying</h1>

<div><p>There are considerations when you copy files of one type to files
|
||
|
|
of another type.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">When the from-file and to-file are different types (source and data), the
|
||
|
|
following statement is true. For the <a href="../cl/cpyfrmqryf.htm">CPYFRMQRYF</a> command, the from-file is always treated as
|
||
|
|
a data file: <ul><li>If the from-file or to-file is a device file (or an inline data file),
|
||
|
|
the copy function will automatically add or delete the source sequence number
|
||
|
|
and date fields for each record copied.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the from-file and to-file are database files, you must specify FMTOPT(*CVTSRC)
|
||
|
|
to perform the operation. The sequence number and date fields are added or
|
||
|
|
deleted as they are for a device file, and the data part of each record is
|
||
|
|
copied without regard to the field definitions in the file record formats.
|
||
|
|
For a source physical to-file, you can use the SRCSEQ parameter to control
|
||
|
|
how sequence numbers are created if you also specified SRCOPT(*SEQNBR).</li>
