Automating Copy Stream Files

["Andre Manriquez" <amanriquez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a situation where a PC is tranferring files via FTP to the iSeries 
(AS/400) FTP Server and placing the files into an IFS directory.  Using the 
CPYFRMSTMF cmd I can get those files into a DB2/400 - file/lib/mbr.  The only 
problem is that the CPYFRMSTMF cmd is done on a one file basis.  In other words 
if I place 10 files in the IFS directory I have to do the CPYFRMSTMF command 10 
times for each file and I have to be exact for each file name...file names 
can/will differ.

BTW, my PC based FTP client does not offer the capability to use Site commands 
so I cannot use "Quote site na0" naming format to go directly to the DB2/400 
side.  It automatically defaults to na1.        

So my questions are:

1.  Is there a way to tell the AS/400 copy all files, *all perhaps, within a 
given directory to a file/lib/mbr?...perhaps to a lib only instead of to a 
specific file and create the files dynamically based on names in the IFS?

2.  Thru a CL program is there a way to do something like read out all file 
names within a directory and call the CPYFRMSTMF cmd for each file name??

I'm looking to automate these steps thru a CL and OS/400 scheduler.  Any 
thoughts or insight would  be greatly appreciated.  

Please feel free to contact me directly offline if you wish.  Thank you.
