Re: QFileSvr.400 usage

No, and this was on a pair of V5R4 machines.

CPY OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB') TODIR('/QFileSvr.400/GDIHQ/QSYS.LIB')
CPFA0D4
Message . . . . :   Object is a directory.  Object is 
/QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB. 
Cause . . . . . :   The operation expected an object which is not a 
directory.
  Object /QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB is a directory.  
Recovery  . . . :   Determine the correct name for the object and retry 
the 
  operation.  

I tried this:
MD '/QFileSvr.400/GDIHQ/QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB'
CPY OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB/*') 
TODIR('/QFileSvr.400/GDIHQ/QSYS.LIB/*')
CPFA089
Message . . . . :   Pattern not allowed in path name.  
Cause . . . . . :   You specified a pattern in path name  
  /QFileSvr.400/GDIHQ/QSYS.LIB/*, but a pattern is not allowed.  
Recovery  . . . :   Specify the complete path name and try the request 
again.

So, then I remembered that I shouldn't specify a pattern on TODIR.  So I 
changed it to:
CPY OBJ('/QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB/*') TODIR('/QFileSvr.400/GDIHQ/QSYS.LIB')
CPFA0DA-Object is a directory.  Object is 
/QSYS.LIB/ROBDELME.LIB/DELETEME.FILE.
You may be wondering how a PF can be a directory.  It's composed of 
members within that directory.  For example, if you look at
WRKLNK '/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/QCLSRC.FILE/*'
where MYLIB is replaced, what do you see?
