Re: Copying a file from multiple sub-directories in the same parent to a DB2 file

Hi Scott,
The file name will be the same in each subdirectory.
If the file exists, I want to copy it to a DB2 file.

ex: /MS_SQL/01
External_File.txt

/MS_SQL/021
External_File.txt

.
.
.
.
/MS_SQL/84
External_File.txt

I need to traverse each of the subdirectories in the MS_SQL directory and
if the file External_File.txt is present, copy it to a DB2 file then delete
it.

Thanks,

Okay. So what will be in these "folders" (directories) for each country?
Is everything in the subdirectories a file to be processed? Or is
there a search criteria that needs to be used to determine if the file
is one to be processed?

I can create a loop to traverse each directory and use CPYTOSTMF to copy
the data and remove the file with DEL after the copy, but I was hoping

for

a simple one line solution for the copy and for the delete.

You mean you want to run the READMYMIND command? (Or, the Unix
equivalent, ./readmymind)
