More on CPYFRMIMPF....

I want to monitor for a failed copy.  for instance, a bad path name entered
or really, any other message.

The only escape message to monitor for listed in the command help is
CPF2817 - Copy command ended because of error.

problem is, when I enter an invalid FROMSTMF path, it doesn't give me this
message:  it must have something to do with interim steps the command
takes.

If I enter an invalid path, and look at my job log, the following messages
are gen'd:

Ownership of object QCPIMTEMPS in QTEMP type *USRSPC changed.
Ownership of object QACPTEMP01 in QTEMP type *USRSPC changed.
Member MYFILE file MYFILE in MYLIB cleared.
File QACP296636 created in library QRECOVERY.
Member QACP296636 added to file QACP296636 in QRECOVERY.
File QACP296636 in library QRECOVERY was created.
Object not found.
Ownership of object FRCP296636 in QRECOVERY type *USRSPC changed.
Ownership of object TOCP296636 in BAIRDR type *USRSPC changed.
0 records copied from member QACP296636.
Object QACP296636 in QRECOVERY type *FILE deleted.
File QACP296636 in library QRECOVERY was created.

So, it looks like it doesn't care if the file exists in the specified
FRMSTMF path.  it clears the destination file (if *replace is spec'd) and
copys zero records.

I also tried to monitor for 'Object not found' (CPFA0A9) but it is a
diagnostic, not an escape message.

you would think an invalid path would make the command bomb, whouldn't you?

So, I guess my real question is:
is there an equivelent to CHKOBJ for a file in the IFS?

Thanks,

Rick
