Re: using "mv" qsh command and qntc folders

Hi, Tim:

In the help text for the MOV command, under "Restrictions" it says:

5. Only objects that are a byte stream file type move between file systems.

So, I suspect you cannot move directories between two different systems with "mv", because those are necessarily two different file systems.

156029 is a directory within claims. I want to move the entire directory

Mv '/tmp/dir1' '/tmp/dir2'

It works fine.

I've don't a wrklnk on both the .5 and .61 path and they show up fine. So I
know my path names are ok.

I was wondering if there is a restriction when trying to move a folder from
1 system to another if both systems are not located on the iseries...

Hi, Tim:

Are you sure those are not directories? You could try this:

mv /qntc/11.0.0.5/claims/156029/* /qntc/11.0.0.61/data/ClaimArchive/156029/*

Or, try using the OS/400 MOV command from an OS/400 command line, rather
than "mv" from within Qshell .. you should at least get better error
messages. And, you can prompt the MOV command (by pressing F4).
