The CPYPWLITM command in TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 is used to copy an individual item from one Programmer Worklist (PWL) to another. It’s a surgical tool for reusing or relocating specific tasks without duplicating the entire worklist—perfect for modular development, task reassignment, or building curated training examples.
What CPYPWLITM Does
This command:
- Copies a single worklist item (object, source member, etc.) from one PWL to another
- Preserves the object type, action, library, and description
- Optionally updates the sequence number, task ID, or request ID
- Allows the item to be reassigned to a different developer, project, or release
It’s the command-line equivalent of using option 3=Copy on the Work with Worklist Items panel.
