Thank you everyone for all the tips.
We have other processes that might be depending on the home directory being there.
I'm reluctant to change to '/' for all users.
The code is from a contractor from 2002.
The entire app is scheduled to be rewritten.

yes.
1 - Change the home directory for all users to '/'
2 - Add a symbolic link to all users such as ADDLNK OBJ('/home/ROB/brc')
NEWLNK('/brc') LNKTYPE(*SYMBOLIC)
3 - Add a command exit point program that whenever someone runs CPYTOIMPF and it says 'brc...' to change it to '/brc...'
Personally, I would recognize that I muffed up and just fix it.

Can this be fixed/resolved without re-coding the application?
The code works for any user without a home directory.

Kevin,
We're already doing that.
4900 - CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(BRFILES/ZIPFILE) TOSTMF('BRC/INDEMAND/
BRCTBuys201803200815.txt') MBROPT(*REPLACE) FROMCCSID(37) STMFCODPAG
(*PCASCII) STMFAUT(*INDIR) RCDDLM(*CRLF) DTAFMT(*FIXED) NULLIND
(*YES) ORDERBY(*ARRIVAL)
This is a relative reference.
TOSTMF('BRC/INDEMAND/BRCTBuys201803200815.txt')
This is an absolute reference.
TOSTMF('/BRC/INDEMAND/BRCTBuys201803200815.txt')
Always best to use absolute references.
Sincerely,
Dave Clark
