<h1 class="topictitle1">Copy commands support for null values</h1>
<div><p>You can copy files that contain null-capable fields by using the
CPYF and CPYFRMQRYF commands. The FMTOPT parameter allows mapping of null-capable
fields.</p>
<p> The INCREL parameter allows the selection of
records that are based on whether a field is or is not null.</p>
<div class="p">While copying the records to the to-file, the following commands ignore
null values in the from-file: <dl><dt class="dlterm"><a href="../cl/cpytotap.htm">CPYTOTAP</a></dt>
<dd>CPYTODKT</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><a href="../cl/cpyfrmtap.htm">CPYFRMTAP</a></dt>
<dd>CPYFRMDKT</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="p">The following conditions or values on the <a href="../cl/cpyf.htm">CPYF</a> or <a href="../cl/cpyfrmqryf.htm">CPYFRMQRYF</a> command ignore null values in the from-file
while copying the records to the to-file: <dl><dt class="dlterm">FMTOPT(*NOCHK)</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt class="dlterm">FMTOPT(*CVTSRC)</dt>
<dd></dd>
<dt class="dlterm">Device to-file</dt>
<dd></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>Record selection involving null values can still be done, but only the
user-specified or default value in the buffer (rather than a null value) is
copied to the to-file. Null values cannot be preserved in these instances.
Any print listings produced when a copy command is run (including TOFILE(*PRINT),
PRINT(*COPIED), PRINT(*EXCLUDE), and PRINT(*ERROR)) also ignore null values.</p>
