Hi John, that's not working, is my syntax right?  I have

mv: 001-2118 Error found renaming object /test/APP/test1/claims*.lwr to /ARCH/claims*.lwr. No such path or directory.

Well, the syntax looks right to me. It works on my machine (V5R2).
It's kind of a long shot, but do you have read permissions on the
source files (and all upstream directories) and write permissions on
the destination directory?

The error message text suggests either that one of your paths doesn't
exist, or that the wildcard is just not working at all (and is being
interpreted as a literal character).

If all your permissions are fine and everything that needs to exist
exists, then my only suggestion is to use something else, such as the
MOV command in CL (which supports * and ? wildcards, according to the
help).
