Re: Hi New to list. QCMDEXC Question Kind of long. Thanks a lot.

Looks like you're missing a ' (single qoute) before the last parm.   Because
it was not quoted, the command processor choked on the / character in the
path name.

Also put a space between the quotes of first 3 parms.  A back to back quote
( '' ) will translate to a literal quote and the 3 fields will be passed as
1 parm and not 3 as you are expecting.

Try.

CALL PGM(mmblib/cpyfiles) PARM('AFB'  'AFBCAB'  'CABDETP'
'qntc/JAMAICA/TDRIVE/TRANLIB/CABS/AFB/TST.txt')
