Copy source file data

The Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) and Copy File (CPYF) commands can be used to write data to and from source file members. When you are copying from a database source file to another database source file that has an insert trigger associated with it, the trigger program is called for each record copied.

• Copy to and from source files using the Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) command
  The Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) command is designed to operate with database source files. Although it is similar in function to the Copy File (CPYF) command, the CPYSRCF command provides defaults that are normally used for copying a source file.
• Use the Copy File (CPYF) command for copying to and from files
  The Copy File (CPYF) command provides additional functions over the Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) command in copying to and from source files.
• Source sequence numbers used in copies
  When you copy to a database source file, you can use the SRCOPT parameter to update sequence numbers and initialize dates to zeros.
