That's a toughybut I actually did that once.  I don't have the code with me, but it was something like this.  I don't think there's any X.5 enhancements that would help.

In my case, the files were named with the unique ID field, so I first created a temp table with the IDs of the files I wanted moved, and create a computed column to show the filename.  So in your case:
    insert into temptable (id) select id from table where status = 'ma'
and there would be a computed column, let's call it filename:    (ctxt(id) + '.pdf')

Then I did something like this:
set headings off
output myfile.txt
select 'copy', filename, ' c:\temp' from temptable
output screen
run myfile.txt

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Copy files based on a where clause

Hello Group...
Is there a way to copy a file from one directory to another directory based on the results of a where clause using an EEP or CMD or ??? within R:base Enterprise X.5

I want to copy only certain pictures from one directory on my hard drive to another directory on the same hard drive where the "status" of a record in my "inventory" table = "MA"

Thank you in advance
