Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Hi Rajasekhar,

Do you mean copying Objects from one directory to another directory or copying files through IFS?
If it is the first case(Copying objects from one library to another library), You will need to use CRTDUPOBJ command or use Option ‘3’ at the particular object.
And, mention the To Library and Object Name.

In second case, You can directly copy the file or document and paste it in another folder.

Pradeep.

I didnt get you exactly. Only objects mean? Select the file you want copy, and use Copy command, mention To Directory and To File Name. Pradeep.

```
CPY OBJ('autl/*.*') TODIR(newautl)
```
That command would copy files from a directory named autl to a directory named newautl. Both of those should exist in the job's current directory (because they are specified as relative paths and because the TODIR() must exist). Because the SUBTREE() parameter defaults to *NODIR, no subdirectories will be copied by that command. Because the pattern contains a "." character, only files with a "." in the name will be copied. What problems are you having with the CPY command? Tom

Tom, i says more than one name matches pattern, sample: Directory . . . . : kennedy1/kennedy Type option, press Enter. 1=Select Opt Object link KENN.txt PFKENN.txt RPG.rar if we choose multi option 1: it says Only 1 selections allowed. 3 selections made. if we choose 1le object: it says object name already exits i need that 3 objects to move another directory. Thanks
