I (accidentally) created an IFS folder on 5.3 that has a trailing blank and everything works ok. I will test with a trailing period. I am confident the results will be the same.

I took your CPYTOSTMF and ran it at 6.1 and I get a SALES.PDF file in the TEST. directory...

This does not work
CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB/TEST.FILE/TEST.MBR')
TOSTMF('/REPORTS/TEST./SALES.PDF') STMFOPT(*REPLACE) STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)

And as I mentioned in my initial posting this one works
CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR('/QSYS.LIB/QTEMP.LIB/TEST.FILE/TEST.MBR')
TOSTMF('/REPORTS/TE.ST/SALES.PDF') STMFOPT(*REPLACE) STMFCODPAG(*PCASCII)
