CPY command

[jclark]

I'm trying to use the CPY command

CPY OBJ('/qsys.lib/emars.lib/kerscpd.file/kerscpd.mbr') TOOBJ('/home/Treas/KERS/Upload/kerscpd.txt') TOCCSID(*PCASCII) DTAFMT(*TEXT) REPLACE(*YES)

Function not supported by file system.

I've checked authority and everything I can think of. Any Ideas?

I think the problem is that you're copying from /QSYS.LIB, which doesn't support all of the functions that many IFS-based programs expect. If your goal is to copy data from a physical file to a stream file, use either the CPYTOSTMF command (if copying from a flat file) or CPYTOIMPF (if copying from a file with fields defined in it.)

Once you have a stream file, then CPY would be appropriate to copy it to other locations in the IFS.
