Kevin and Steve have already said you can't copy HDR:PEQS back to
PEQs, but that may not be important. You can copy the report data,
and restore it, and you can read the HDR metadata with code. So
(without doing this on a moment's notice) I can picture a small bit of
code that saves PEQS data to "PEQS.HOLD" and HDR data to
"PEQS.HOLD.HDR". Then you can restore data back to PEQS and use the
PEQS.HOLD.HDR data to guide where it gets printed and who gets it.
As far as accidentally missing the "(" on a Copy/To, it's easy to
overload the COPY and other commands to avoid this from happening.
As always, the environment is versatile and extensible. The DBMS
provide us with tools and it's up to us to use them. I much prefer
that they do this rather than trying to accommodate every possible use
and mis-use of the system.
In summary. All of the problems described here can be fixed pretty
easily without assistance from TL.
