Re: Copying files from one folder to another (from the iSeries)

I just tried this command and it copies the contents of one directory to another.

The destination directory must pre-exist before the copy command or the copy will fail...

COPY OBJ('/OriginFolder/*.*') TODIR('/DestinationFolder')


Just a nit, probably you want to use:

COPY OBJ('/OriginFolder/*') TODIR('/DestinationFolder')

The original COPY command only copies filenames with a period in the name. Many IFS files may well include a period in their name, but you probably don't want to exclude the files that don't.

Cheers! Hans
