Welcome to AS/400. The answer depends on a couple of things. Basically I
would say yes, but not with CPYTOPCD.
First, it'd be helpful to know which version of the OS/400 operating system
you are on. You can see this if you execute DSPDTAARA QSS1MRI on the
command line - the release is in the first position. It'll be something
like V5R1M0 or V4R4M0 - VxRxMx in general.
The folder here refers to something on the AS/400. It is a file system that
uses the old DOS 8.3 naming convention - it is not recommended that you use
this command because of the naming limitations, as well as other
complications that go along with this older part of AS/400. So you should
not use CPYTOPCD.
The commands to use would be CPYTOSTMF or CPYTOIMPF - the first one copies
a physical file to a file in what is called the IFS (Integrated File
System), which is generally like a Windows or PC or Unix file system. The
folders used by CPYTOPCD are a part of this, too, in a directory call
/QDLS, but do not put things there - the problems I mentioned apply ig you
even try to use that directory and its subdirectories.
AS/400 of recent releases can participate in a Windows networking
environment, using something called NetServer on the AS/400. You set up
file shares on the AS/400 (using Operations Navigator, a PC application in
Client Access). Then any Windows machine can map a drive to a share, or you
can use the network name of the AS/400. So this is how you copy a physical
file to someplace a PC can get to it - it is still on the 400 but
accessible from PCs.
There is also a directory on the 400 call /QNTC, which is how the 400 sees
Windows machines in a Windows network. This is where you COULD write
something directly to a PC, but I don't remember if the commands I
mentioned above work with /QNTC. Even if they do, it's a bit more complicated.
Hope this helps

i am new to AS/400 environment . I find a command CPYTOPCD and tried to
use that as below.
QSYS/CPYTOPCD FROMFILE(CMPMS) TOFLR(DOCS) TODOC(CMPMS) REPLACE(*YES)
It gives an Error Message (IWS1612) : Member CMPMS not copied to PC
document. [Docs is the file in my local PC]
Can anyone tell me either the folder name option here refers to the local
folder in my PC or a folder in AS/400 (as i am seeing some options as "To
work with folders").? Is there any way in this comamnd to transfer the
file from AS/400 to the PC Side?
Thanks
Siva
