<h1 class="topictitle1">Specify *ADD when copying files</h1>
|
|
<div><p>When you specify *ADD, each record copied is added to the end of
|
|
the existing records in the member. </p>
|
|
<p>It is important to note that this is always true, even for keyed files.
|
|
However, with keyed files, the added records appear to be merged in key sequence
|
|
when accessed through a keyed access path. When copying from query files,
|
|
the relative record numbers of the resulting file might not correspond to
|
|
those in the original file.</p>
|
|
<p>When *ADD is specified, the copy completes normally even if the from-file
|
|
contains no records.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />When three files are copied with MBROPT(*ADD) to a database
|
|
file that is not keyed, the resulting to-file looks like the following figure: <br /><img src="rv2h078.gif" alt="Graphic showing the result of copies
with MBROPT(*ADD) specified" /><br /><img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
|
<div class="p">If MBROPT(*ADD) is specified, records are always physically added at the
|
|
end of the file, even if it is a keyed sequence file. In the following figure,
|
|
FILEDB1 is a keyed physical from-file, and FILEDB2 is a keyed physical to-file.
|
|
The files are shown as they physically appear in storage. FILEDB2 already
|
|
has three records in it. <div class="fignone"><br /><img src="rv2h079.gif" alt="Graphic of files as they
physically appear in storage" /><br /></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>If you specify MBROPT(*ADD), FROMKEY(1 2), and TOKEY(1 5), four records
|
|
are added in key field order to the end of FILEDB2.</p>
|
|
<div class="fignone"><br /><img src="rv2h080.gif" alt="Graphic of records added
to file" /><br /></div>
|
|
<p>The added records, however, appear to be merged in the new file when viewed
|
|
through a keyed sequence access path.</p>
|
|
<div class="fignone"><br /><img src="rv2h081.gif" alt="Graphic of records when viewed
through a keyed sequence access path" /><br /></div>
|
|
<p>There are several ways to select records for copying . One
|
|
method is selection by relative record number. Using the preceding example,
|
|
if you selected records to copy to a third file from FILEDB2 by relative record
|
|
number, from number 3 through 5, you would copy the records with a key value
|
|
of 24, 2, and 3, not 4, 5, and 9.</p>
