Thanks Mark. This is the obvious answer I was overlooking. This does work. Its running now.

Hi, Mike:

What about the CPY command? Something like this:

CPY OBJ('/home/zip/*') TODIR('/home/MSW') SUBTREE(*ALL)

This copies all the files in the source directory to the target
directory, including any subdirectories.

(NOTE: The target directory must already exist.)

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

We want to make a duplicate copy of an IFS directory to another IFS location on a nightly basis. From what I have been able to find it looks like that can be done by saving the source IFS directory to a save file and then restoring the save file to a different location. I can't find anything like CRTDUPOBJ that would work on IFS objects. I'm not missing something obvious am I?
