Re: Can someone post the link to get to the CL reference?

Well, play with it and see what happens. I THINK if you qualify the
library on the from/to then you're OK, if you DON'T it may use the
OVR's....but I'd have to test it and see...which is what I recommend you
do....

I'm pretty certain that CPYF is override aware. I have gotten CPYF failures when the CPYF command would tell me that target and source file are the same due to overrides.

Hi Alan,

You're right, finding which commands ignore OVRDBF was not as simple as it should be. I double checked that the CPYF command doesn't say, then looked at the OVRDBF command, which says look in the Info Center. Which I did, but had to try a few searches before finding this:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=overrides-effect-some-commands

CPYF does not appear in the list of commands that ignore OVRDBF, so presumably it honors the override.

You could also test it by doing an override, then a CPYF.

Does the CPYF command respect the file overrides in place? I know that
there are a few commands that do not.

Using three keywords, '"_ibm i" CL cpyf_" I got the more general "CL
Programming"
(https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=language-cl-programming) and
the directory of commands
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=language-alphabetic-list-cl-commands-by-command-name.

The trick was to include the command I was looking for, CPYF.

right combination of search words and get too much riff-raff in the
results. Lots of relevant CL links but not the reference to the
commands. Never had such a hard time before.

So also is there a good IBM link where the references are listed?
