RE: CPYTOSTMF

I am pretty sure that the folders have to already exist in the IFS "To"
stream file path.  Does F40803 exist?  I'm guessing not, since the command
without it works.
We use a CL program to walk through the list of folders and create them
(CRTDIR with MONMSG CPFA0A0) to make sure they exist before using the
CPYTOSTMF command.  I don't know if there is a limit to the number of
folders you can specify on the command - we do 7 levels deep without a
problem.

I'm running a copy of a program from Iseriesnetwork called
CVTSPLSTMF(although the problem doesn't appear to be with this program
directly).  
Within this program CPYTOSTMF is being called.  
When I run this program and the CPYTOSTMF is called like the following  ===>
CPYTOSTMF
FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/CVTSPLWRK1.file/CVTSPLWRK1.mbr')
TOSTMF('/pdfflr/bills/F40803/A1.html') STMFOPT(*REPLACE)
STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)     

I get errors telling me 
 Object not found.  Object is                         
   /qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/CVTSPLWRK1.file/CVTSPLWRK1.mbr.


When I run the program and the CPYTOSTMF is called like the following  ===>
CPYTOSTMF
FROMMBR('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/CVTSPLWRK1.file/CVTSPLWRK1.mbr')
TOSTMF('/pdfflr/bills/A1.html') STMFOPT(*REPLACE) STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)


It works fine. 

The only difference is the additional folder F40803.  

So I guess my question is, Is there a limit to the number of directory paths
on the IFS, or is there possibly a bug in the CPYTOSTMF command, or am I
just missing something? 

Btw the folders all exist.
