I added a column to a table. The added column is not the last column.
SourceOfStatement For
SourceCode Char (10) NOT NULL DEFAULT ' ',
I then ran a CPYF with map/drop to copy data from the old version of the table into the new. This works.
But we have another table that is defined LIKE the table that was changed.
CREATE TABLE StatePH1 LIKE StateP
RCDFMT StateF;
The CPYF with map/drop from the old StatePH1 table to the new one results in the following error:
20 -- A field that is not null capable could not be set to null.
Does anyone have an idea as to what I need to fix here? According to this old document, it should be bringing in the Default Value (and based on the error, it sounds like it's bringing in the nullability, which appears to be in the same group as the Default Value):

I'd appreciate any feedback. We're on IBM i 7.1
Thanks,
