<h1 class="topictitle1"> Monitoring for zero records in the from-file</h1>
<div><p>There are some special considerations for copy when the from-file
is a physical or logical file and one or more members to be copied are empty. </p>
<div class="p">A member is considered empty in the following cases: <ul><li>You specified COMPRESS(*NO) on the <a href="../cl/cpyf.htm">CPYF</a> command, and the from-file member contains no records.</li>
<li>You specified COMPRESS(*YES) for a COPY command, and the from-file members
contain no undeleted records.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Members copied involving record selection <a href="../cl/cpyfrmqryf.htm">(CPYFRMQRYF</a> command or the INCCHAR and INCREL parameters
of the CPYF command) that produce no records are not considered empty.</p>
<p>When the to-file is a printer file (including *PRINT), or when the to-file
is a physical file and you specified MBROPT(*ADD) or MBROPT(*UPDADD), empty
from-file members are copied because no existing data will be destroyed. Each
member that is copied is identified by a normal copy completion message. If
the to-file is spooled, an empty spooled file is produced for each empty from-file
member. If the PRINT parameter on the CPYF command specifies *COPIED, *EXCLD,
or *ERROR, the empty members are shown in the lists, and no records are printed.</p>
<div class="p">Except for the CPYFRMQRYF command, an empty from-file member is never copied
to a diskette or tape file, or to a physical file when MBROPT(*REPLACE) is
specified. Empty from-file members are skipped for these types of to-files,
and a CPF2869 message is sent (as either an informational or diagnostic message)
to identify each empty member. The empty members are skipped to avoid destroying
existing data. When an empty from-file member is skipped, the following considerations
apply: <ul><li>A tape or diskette file is not produced on the output volume. If the diskette
file is spooled, no spool output file is created.</li>
<li>An existing to-file physical file member is not cleared.</li>
<li>If the to-file does not exist and you specified CRTFILE(*YES) on a copy
command, a physical file is created.</li>
<li>If the to-file is a physical file and the to-file member does not exist,
a member is added to the file.</li>
<li>If the PRINT parameter on the CPYF command specifies *COPIED, *EXCLD,
or *ERROR, the empty members are not shown in the lists.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>When the copy command specifies a generic name or *ALL for the FROMMBR
parameter, each empty from-file member skipped is identified by message CPF2869,
sent as an informational message. If all the from-file members are skipped,
a CPF2870 diagnostic message is sent after all the CPF2869 informational messages,
followed by a CPF2817 escape message.</p>
<p>When the copy command specifies a single member name or FROMMBR(*FIRST),
or when there is an override for the from-file that forces a single member
to be processed, an empty member that is skipped is identified by the diagnostic
message CPF2869. The CPF2869 diagnostic message is followed by a CPF2817 escape
message.</p>
<div class="p">In the following example, the from-file and to-file are both database files,
and EMPTY1 and EMPTY2 are empty members in the from-file. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> By using the
code examples, you agree to the terms of the <a href="codedisclaimer.htm">Code license and disclaimer information</a>.</div>
<pre>PGM
/* No need to monitor for zero records
when MBROPT(*ADD) specified */
CPYF FROMFILE(D504/GEORGE) TOFILE(D504/KEN) +
FROMMBR(EMPTY1) TOMBR(MBR1) MBROPT(*ADD)
CPYF FROMFILE(D504/GEORGE) TOFILE(D504/KEN) +
FROMMBR(EMPTY2) TOMBR(MBR2) MBROPT(*REPLACE)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF2817) CMPDTA(CPF2869) +
EXEC(CLRPFM FILE(D504/KEN) MBR(MBR2))
/* Monitor for zero records and
send a message when all members
to copy are empty */
CPYF FROMFILE(D504/GEORGE) +
TOFILE(D504/NEWFILE) FROMMBR(EMPTY*) +
TOMBR(NEWMBR) MBROPT(*REPLACE)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF2817) CMPDTA(CPF2870) +
EXEC(SNDPGMMSG TOPGMQ(*EXT) +
MSG('All members to copy are empty'))
ENDPGM</pre>
</div>
<p>For the first <a href="../cl/cpyf.htm">CPYF</a> command,
MBROPT(*ADD) is specified, so an escape message is not sent to the program
because of the empty from-file member. Note that if MBR1 does not exist before
the copy, it is added to the to-file (if either the from-file member is empty
or contains data).</p>
<p>For the second CPYF command, copy does not clear the to-file member when
the from-file member is empty, so the <a href="../cl/monmsg.htm">MONMSG</a> command after the second CPYF command starts the
CLRPFM command to clear the to-file member when the from-file member is empty.</p>
<p>For the third CPYF command, the CPF2817 escape message has compare data
of CPF2870 if all members to be copied are empty because the generic from-file
member name, EMPTY*, requests that multiple members be copied.</p>
