does this work better than the pax command? - this has been working for me very 
well for getting new updates to my etc filesystem. 



6.4) Issue the pax command to copy new members from this location to the new 
/etc filesystem : 
pax -rwkv -p e . /Service/TST1/etc 


Description of syntax: 
pax –rw puts you in copy mode 
k prevents the pax utility from overlaying any existing symbolic links 
v displays the symbolic links and files being copied 
-p e Preserves the user ID, group ID, file mode, access time, modification 
time, all extended attributes and preserves the permissions 
‘.’ Represents the current location you have changed directories to (working 
directory) 
/Service/TST1/etc represents where you are copying to

Subject: COPYPAX REXX exec problem 

I am trying to use the COPYPAX exec to COPY/NOREPLACE a zOS 2.1 /etc into a zOS 
2.3. 
It is ending with a RC=1 and there are subdirs and files that are not getting 
copied. 

Getting this error and don't know why.
