Re: cpyf woes/problem with multiple declare files.

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Can "does not work" be explained with a message identifier & 
text?  Or any other details?  If not, what does DMPCLPGM show for 
the variables that will be used in the upcoming failing CPYF?

  What is the relationship between having the files declared and 
the copy-file command?  If the &B_YYMMDD is a CL variable name for 
the field name B_YYMMDD, as the implicit DCL generated for one of 
the files named on DCLF, does the character [string] data in these 
variables represent the field names of the FROMFILE?

  I did not review for an issue using variables for the field 
names, but if the first request works, then the second should work 
when formed as a valid command string which is then passed to 
QCMDEXC [or another command processor]; i.e. eliminate variables for 
the field names.

Regards, Chuck
