That is what I thought. Too many suggestions flowing in on this
subject.

I will be sticking with the MOV command, probably imbedded in to a CLLE
to eliminate the Command parsing and bind to the RPGLE.

Chris, the link() API will create a hard-link to a file in a file
system. A hard-link can be thought of as an "alternative filename" for
the file. It doesn't actually copy the physical data on disk, it's just

another filename for the same block of bytes on disk.

The link() API will only work if the file and it's new link are located
in the same file system. (Which won't work in your scenario. Your data

is not only on a separate file system, it's on a completely separate
computer!)
