Well, you can do the same thing with SQL:

INSERT INTO NEWFILE (SELECT * FROM MYFILE);

UPDATE NEWFILE SET company# = '2';

INSERT INTO MYFILE (SELECT * FROM NEWFILE);

:-))

Did you mean withOUT naming all of the fields?

Sure you can!

Will this work?


CPYF FROMFILE(*LIBL/myFile) TOFILE(QTEMP/myFile) FROMRCD(1)
MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*YES)

Runsql 'UPDATE qtemp/myfile set company# = ''2'''

CPYF FROMFILE(QTEMP/myFile) TOFILE(*LIBL/myFile) FROMRCD(1) MBROPT(*add)

Should do the trick.
