Sai4AS400, good that you’re adding to the knowledge base.
As Tom said, if you copy a logical file you will be coping all the rows that are available to use through that logical. Since this request was to create a pf like the logical but without the data, Tom had recommended using the CPYF with a record selection rule that wouldn’t succeed in finding any records.
Tom’s recommendations from Nov 17, 2012 are accurate and complete.
