RE: CPY command error

Do all of the PDFs have numeric names? Do you have any that begin with an
alpha character, and it works?

I've had issues before where some tools assume that file name start with
alphas, so I always generate file names with alpha characters in front, just
to be safe. Don't know about IBM stuff, though.

Subject: CPY command error

I used this CPY command to test whether I can automate this:

CPY OBJ('/Invoices/2006-01') TODIR('/qntc/ReportSvr/Shared Files/Invoices')
TOCCSID(*PCASCII) SUBTREE(*ALL)

The result was:

143 objects copied.  305 objects failed.

All the failed objects had a .pdf extension.  All the copied objects were
either a directory or some extension other than .pdf.  The joblog has, for
each failed object:

Message ID . . :   CPFA0AD     Severity . . :   40
Message type . :   Diagnostic  
Date sent  . . :   01/03/06    Time sent  . :   12:36:12
 
Message . . . . :   Function not supported by file system.
Cause . . . . . :   An attempt was made to use a function which was not
  supported by the file system for path /qntc/ReportSvr/Shared
  Files/Invoices/2006-01/03/9116700.PDF.  The path selected may not be valid
  for the function, or it may not be in the same file system.
Recovery  . . . :   Check the path name for accuracy.  You may need to use
  another path for the operation.  Check the job log for possible additional
  messages.

The target (ReportSvr) is a Win XP Pro machine.  Every month I have been
doing this in Win explorer on that PC via drag and drop and wanted to
automate it.  The .pdf files copy just fine via that method.  I don't
understand the 'function not supported'.  Could it be an authority thing?  I
have the same user id and password on the i5 and that PC.

Ah!  I just checked and the CCSID on the .pdf files is 37 and on the other
files is 819.  Suppose that's it?  Then how does my drag and drop work?
