The CL command
Copy to Personal Computer Document (CPYTOPCD) can
be used to copy data
from a database file member on a local
iSeries server or a remote
iSeries server (using
DDM)
to a document on the local
iSeries server.
The remote file can be on a target
iSeries server or
a non-
iSeries server. To use these
commands, specify the name of a DDM file on the:
- TOFILE parameter in the Copy from PC Document (CPYFRMPCD) command,
to copy a personal computer document to an iSeries physical
file.
- FROMFILE parameter in the Copy to PC Document (CPYTOPCD) command,
to copy a member from an iSeries database
file to a personal computer document in a folder.
The following restrictions apply to the CL copy commands for
iSeries Access Family:
- For the CPYFRMPCD command, a remote file cannot be
created on the target server (whether it is an iSeries server or
a non-iSeries server). The remote
file must already exist before the personal computer document data can be
copied to it. However, if the target is an iSeries server or
a System/38™, a new member can
be created for the remote file before the personal computer document data
is copied to that file member.
- The CPYFRMPCD and CPYTOPCD commands
are iSeries CL commands and
cannot be entered at the DOS prompt from the personal computer.
