Hi Gregory Martin,

Is there any way to copy the specific record type only while we execute filecopy command, for example I have data like below dicts..
col 1-1 Record Type
col 2-3 Enemurator's ID
col 4-15 Household ID

11921001011001
21921001011001
31921001011001
41921001011001
11921001011002
21921001011002
31921001011002
41921001011002
11921001011003
21921001011003
31921001011003
41921001011003

Now I need to copy data which contents only record type '1' to another file to check the status of allocations, Is it possible ??

Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh Pradhan

The filecopy function copies the entire file, so you can't include only some lines. If you're working with text files, you could do this with logic:

file input_file;

file output_file;

string line;

input_file.open("input filename.dat");

output_file.open("output filename.dat", create);

while input_file.read(line) do

    if line[1:1] = "1" then

        output_file.write(line);

    endif;

enddo;

input_file.close();

output_file.close();
