Hi,
I have been using the CPYFRMIMPF for long time. It was working properly. But now one of my manager now says that you should avoid using CPYFRMIMPF as IBM is recommending not to use it. He says that when the data comes from outside system i.e. oracle or unix then CPYFRMIMPF has problems in dealing with nulls. I am currently using the V5R4 version and I believe there is an option to allow nulls if the field has null value but as per him he is saying a part of field value can also be null and it will fail in such cases.
My requirement is that a pipe delimited file will be sent from Unix box and I have to copy the data to a PF. I have tried copying using the CPYFRMIMPF and it was perfect. I am not aware of any other command which does a copy from pipe delimited file to a PF.
I would like to know the Pros and Cons of CPYFRMIMPF command.
Could you please put your thoughts?
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Rahul
