If you have been following the predecessor thread you know I have had
difficulty trying to copy PDS members to a zFS directory in batch. After
having layers of difficulties trying to run OPUTX in batch Gil suggested cp.
I was unable to get cp to work -- or so I thought. I would run cp from
BPXBATCH and simultaneously use WS_FTP to observe the results. (Yes, I know
to hit Refresh.) The files were not showing up in WS_FTP so I concluded cp
was failing. This morning I ran cp with -v and it looked like it was
working, so I used ls to double-check what I was seeing in WS_FTP, and sure
enough the files are there!

Here is my BPXBATCH JCL:

// SET Q=''''
// SET P0='sh cp -Uv "//''''USERID.SMPE.INSTJCL''''" ' 
// SET P4='/u/userid/smpe/SCZA551/INSTJCL'             
//*                                                    
//CP       EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,      
// PARM=&Q.&P0.&P4.&Q                                  
//STDIN    DD   DUMMY                                  
//STDOUT   DD   SYSOUT=*                               
//STDERR   DD   SYSOUT=*   

Here is what ls -l shows for one of the copied members. Why should this file
be invisible to WS_FTP?                            

-rw-rw-r--   1 USERID   RESTRICT    1226 Dec 13 11:25 $$README

FWIW, in the next jobstep I pax -wvf the parent folder and these members
show up in the pax archive.

Does anyone have some insight into this mystery?
