Re: [Bulk] RE: [Bulk] RE: What command will copy an entire IFS directory and its contents

Mark,

The pattern character sees them, but cannot copy them.

CPY OBJ('/TEST/*') TODIR('/TESTCOPY/') SUBTREE(*ALL) REPLACE(*YES)

0 objects copied. 19 objects failed.

Paul:

Inferring from you comment about "... an extra directory level" that you did not want to copy the "/test" directory itself, then in that case, you could have specified the command this way:

CPY OBJ('/TEST/*') TODIR('/TESTCOPY/') SUBTREE(*ALL) REPLACE(*YES)

Notice the use of the "pattern" character (*) in the OBJ parameter.

This is the same as when you issue WRKLNK -- notice the difference when you issue:

WRKLNK OBJ('/TEST')

compared with:

WRKLNK OBJ('/TEST/*'

Hope that helps,
