OPALE:10.0:Utilisation:Merger deux spools : MAPMOVDATA/en

This command allows you to copy the data of a spooled file onto the pages of another spooled file. It can be used starting with two spooled files resulting from queries: one spooled file for the invoice header and another one with item details. MAPMOVDATA should be used after MAPSORTSPL. You will need to add the two spooled files to the same database, MAPMOVDATA will then edit this database and merge the data in the first file with the data in the other file according to a sorting criterion.

Example:

- the first spooled file compiles different invoices and the purchased items

- the second spooled file contains invoice headers

- both spooled files are sorted by invoice number using MAPSORTSPL

- MAPMOVDATA will add the purchased items underneath the corresponding headers.

- To start printing the spooled files, use command MAPSORTSPL with parameter MBROPT set to *NONE

• Line Number: the number of the line from which you start copying
• Name of DataBase for sort: name of the database (same one as for MAPSORTSPL)
• Spool file number to copy: number of the spooled file that will be copied at the end of the other one (matches the addition number of the MAPSORTSPL command)
• Spool file number to update: number of the spooled file that will be edited
• Length of the input spoolfile: length of the PRTF
• Delete copy spool file: deletes the pages of the duplicated file
