Hi,

We have a requirement to add a new column in ISPF Table. I have create new table with new column.

I want to copy data from my old table to new table.

Check with ISPF 3.16 (it has an EXPORT/IMPORT function).

Hi Joerg,

I have tried with 3.16 but the problem is

1. My input table is having 37 colums
2. My output table is having 40 colums

When I tried export from input table to a dataset and import from this dataset to output table its copying data but its same as my input table and removing extra 3 colums.

My requirement is it should copy 37 colums and other 3 colums left as it is..

Thanks..

You should do something like this:

TBOpen old table
TBCreate new table with all fields
Copy old table to new table, populating the new fields. The simplest way to copy is:
TBQuery old-table rows(rownum)
do rownum
TBGet old-table
TBAdd new-table
end
TBend old table
TBCLOSE new-table - to create in library
rename old table member to backup
rename new table member to old name

It's easier using ISPF 3.16 here. You can even add the new fields to the export DSN and import the new structure.
