<h1 class="topictitle1">Copy files not in check-pending status</h1>
<div><p>When the parent or dependent file has an established constraint
relationship that is not in check-pending status, the rules described in
this topic apply.</p>
<ul><li>If the from-file has an established constraint relationship, then you
can copy all of the records from it whether it is a parent or dependent file.</li>
<li>If the to-file has an established or enabled constraint relationship,
then the following rules apply to keep the constraint relationship from entering
check-pending status: <ul><li>A parent file cannot have its member cleared of records.</li>
<li>A parent file cannot have more than one parent key value in the parent
key access path of the same value (key must remain unique). That is, if the
to-file is a parent file in a constraint relationship, then the copy does
not allow duplicate key records to be copied into it.</li>
<li>A dependent file's foreign key values that are not null must always have
a corresponding parent key value. That is, if the to-file is a dependent file
in a constraint relationship, the copy operation does not allow non-null foreign
key records that do not have a corresponding parent key record to be copied
into the dependent file.</li>
</ul>
<p>The copy operation ensures that the data in the parent or dependent
to-file is not damaged. Records can be copied to the to-file provided they
do not cause the constraint relationship to go into check-pending status.
If a user attempts to copy a record that does not meet the constraint relationship
rules, the copy operation will end unless the ERRLVL parameter has been specified
(<a href="../cl/cpyf.htm">CPYF</a> and <a href="../cl/cpyfrmqryf.htm">CPYFRMQRYF</a> commands
only) with a value greater than zero.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To circumvent the above rules, you can disable the involved constraints
before the copy operation, perform the copy, and then re-enable the constraints.
However, the file is in check-pending status if constraint rules are still
not met.</p>
