I wonder if I've missed the obvious... Don't let my subject mislead you - I can't use CPYF for my task. I am basically copying information from one file to another, but some of the data needs to change, and I need to break out (create) detail records where there are summary. I can get all of the detail records. My question is about copying the fields from one file to another. I started with two identical files (as far as field layout goes.) I used PREFIX on one so I wouldn't have conflicting field names in the program. I was thinking I could just EVAL NEWFILE=OLDFILE on the format names, but that didn't work. Can it be done with EXTNAME data structures? Or do I have to copy each field individually before I can write the record? (Is this what the MOVEC vote was for on the ballot?) Thanks!
