Re: Problem with qshell cp command

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Is it possible that the destination file or directory is already in use 
by another process/job?

I would've expected that to generate the message 'Resource busy' (rather 
than 'Device Busy') but perhaps they use different error messages in 
QShell vs. ILE...?
