I do not know how well this is documented, but I think the CI copy
command is
an (the only ?) exception to the behaviour of CI commands with 'MPE
escaped HFS syntax'.
All other HFS aware CI commands will treat names starting with a . (DOT)
as MPE escaped HFS syntax and therefore not upshift the filenames.

The COPY command has however long before POSIX supported an abbreviated
way of copying
a file into a different group of the same account, and we felt we could
not change this
behaviour because of backward compatibility with existing
jobs/udc/command files:

(CWD is PUB)
:copy testudc,.udc
:listfile testudc.udc,2
ACCOUNT=  NEUMANN     GROUP=  UDC

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

TESTUDC            80B  FA           5          5   3       16  1  1

To avoid this special handling in the COPY command, you will have to
put the HFS syntax name/path into a file equation:

:file udc=.udc
:copy testudc,*udc
:listfile .udc,2
 PATH= /NEUMANN/PUB/

 CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME
         SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

          80B  FA           5          5   3       16  1  1  .udc

Hope this helps,

Goetz.
