OpenVMS COPY command? (xcopy)

» close window

The Question is:

 
I'm looking for a way to do an xcopy in vms.  It seems that a copy
 disk$::[dir...]*.*;* will copy all files in the tree but not directory files.
 Is there a command file available that does this function already?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  When asking a question such as this, the Wizard requests that the
  specific DCL command(s) used be included in the question.
 
  The DCL command:
 
    COPY ddcu:[dir1...]*.* ddcu:[dir2...]
 
  works as expected, and copies the directory heirarchy.
 
  Alternatively, you could use the BACKUP command to transfer the
  files.
