The sav and rst is probably the safest (as you will have a copy in the save file should anything go wrong with the restore), but I believe you could also run the Unix commands to copy the directory using Qshell.

I think the command would be something like this:

STRQSH CMD('cp -R /source /target')

This would copy all files and subdirectories from /source to /target. Note that it will overwrite all files with the same name in /target and also would not remove any files in /target. So if you have a file called /source/070109.txt that you delete after it was copied to /target, it would remain in /target unless you delete it there too. the copy command (cp) will not clear the destination.

Subject: IFS directory duplication question

We want to make a duplicate copy of an IFS directory to another IFS location on a nightly basis. From what I have been able to find it looks like that can be done by saving the source IFS directory to a save file and then restoring the save file to a different location. I can't find anything like CRTDUPOBJ that would work on IFS objects. I'm not missing something obvious am I?
