Apparently, the copy problem only happens in the program with spoolfiles.
The copy command works fine on other file types.
I also tried fcopy with the same error:
FCOPY FROM=O23.OUT.HPSPOOL;TO=HOLDFILE;NEW
HP31900A.05.04 FILE COPIER (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1999
*105*
CAN'T OPEN FROMFILE
DISPLAY FILE INFORMATION (Y OR N) ?
ABORT
Program aborted per user request. (CIERR 989)
I also discovered that the rename command doesn't work on spoolfiles either --
:RENAME O66.OUT.HPSPOOL,HOLDFILE
RENAME FOR THE GIVEN FILE TYPE IS NOT SUPPORTED (FSERR 392)
RENAME failed due to file system error. Not renamed. (CIERR 373)
