That happens to me all the time when I try to COPY a &HOLD& file/record to another directory. My reports are often 230mb or larger. I asked IBM, and they said "COPY always had a size limit." Can't ED it either, as Dan observed.
So I just wrote a program to select the records, and copy them using the unix cp command. Then I list them using the unix ls command to make sure they were copied. -- Louie 0001: COMMAND = \SELECT REPORTS WITH START.DATE = \:OCONV(@DATE,"D4/") 0002: DISPLAY COMMAND 0003: EXECUTE COMMAND 0004: LOOP 0005: READNEXT COPY.HOLD.ID ELSE COPY.HOLD.ID = '' 0006: WHILE COPY.HOLD.ID 0007: COMMAND = \sh -c "cp -r '/sam/hill/&HOLD&/\:COPY.HOLD.ID:\' /sam/hill/HOLD.TODAY/\: COPY.HOLD.ID:\"\ 0008: DISPLAY COMMAND 0009: EXECUTE COMMAND 0010: COMMAND = \sh -c "ls -l /sam/hill/HOLD.TODAY/\:COPY.HOLD.ID: \"\ 0011: DISPLAY COMMAND 0012: EXECUTE COMMAND 0013: DISPLAY 0014: REPEAT 0015: END ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
