Just a nit, probably you want to use:

COPY OBJ('/OriginFolder/*') TODIR('/DestinationFolder')

The original COPY command only copies filenames with a period in the 
name. Many IFS files may well include a period in their name, but 
you probably don't want to exclude the files that don't.

Cheers! Hans
