Just to clarify I want the file which is already there on the IFS
Directory path , I want it to be copied into any qualified path let's say
into LIBA/SRCPF1 and into it's member 'xyz' .

but when I do option '3' for this file which is there on IFS Directory path
then there is no such option available to move /copy it to the my intended
library/source physical ?

what i see is like below:-

Copy Object (CPY)

Object . . . . . . . . . . . . . OBJ > '/home/K21/Callstack.txt'
To directory . . . . . . . . . . TODIR '.'
To object . . . . . . . . . . . TOOBJ

Help is available for all IBM i commands. Place the cursor on any parameter and press F1. From there, one can press F2 to see all of the help for all of the parameters.

CPY is generally used to copy stream files within the IFS; not to copy from a stream file to the Db2 file system. That said, there is a much restricted way to do that: look at the help for the TOOBJ() parameter.

In general I would use CPYFRMSTMF to copy from a stream file to a Db2 file - like a source physical file.

I also recommend that you give VS Code for IBM i a try. It's free of charge, open source, is very actively being developed, and can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=HalcyonTechLtd.code-for-ibmi
