When you say iSeries folder, are you referring to a DLO (document library object) in the original, pre-IFS OS/400 folder structure? If so, then those folders are part of the IFS, through the /QDLS path. Thus, a folder named MYFOLDER would be accessed using the IFS syntax of /QDLS/MYFOLDER, and to reference a specific document, the syntax is /QDLS/MYFOLDER/MYDOCUMENT.

You could use the MOV command, to move the object from its current IFS directory to the desired folder/directory in the /QDLS path. You can also rename or convert the object to another format and/or CCSID with that same command. Example:
MOV OBJ('/MyIFSDirectory/MyFile') TODIR('/QDLS/MYFOLDER')

(Be aware that /QDLS only supports the old DOS 8.3 naming convention, so if you try to move a file there that doesn't conform, you will get an error. In that case, you would have to rename the file first, before moving. This can be done via the REN command.)
