I have an example of a UDTF that has CPYfrmIMPF in it. close, but easy to change.
this example cross references the PTF's on your system with the "all PTFs" list IBM provides.

Have you thought of abandoning CL for SQL stored procedures? There are SQL

better solution than calling out to APIs, shoehorning SQL into CL, etc.

I need the CL to run CPYTOIMPF. Is there an SQL way?
