Running with this theory, since it's the only one I haven't yet beaten
to death, I created a global profile in /etc that has:

export PATH=/usr/bin

Unfortunately no affect.

I understand what you are saying about the QSHELL APIs vs the IFS APIs,
but my point is that this is the "iSeries" where "i" stands for
integrated.  We program in the "Integrated Languages Environment" and
are encouraged to use the "Integrated File System".  I,I,I from "I"bm. 
With all this integration going on we should have a much easier task of
little jobs like these... I mean all I want to do is create a directory
and copy files to it!

Let's face it, a DOS batch file or a Perl script would have had this job
done 6 hours ago, but since I need to do it in RPG it has become a big
deal.  I just think this should be a cake walk instead of a death march.
