You have to remove the file code in order to transfer the files. This can be
done with mpex ALTFILE command example:
ALTFILE dbfile;CODE=""
Then copy the files as if they were flat files.
When you put them back you need to put the file codes back on them. example:
ALTFILE dbfile;CODE=-400
ALTFILE dbfile01;CODE=-401
The -400 file code is for the header file
The -401 file code is for all the numbered file sets.
