I have only a passing familiarity with POSIX on HP-3000. I
know it's there but it's  never bothered me before. I need to copy some
production archive files from one machine to another.  I originally thought
I could use DSCOPY and a REPEAT loop in MPEX like below, but the twist is
that the filename are in the POSIX format instead of MPE.
                 I'm sure this would have worked for MPE style filenames.

                This is the code:
                %   REPEAT
                %>     DSCOPY !MPEXCURRENTFILE,HP1 TO !MPEXCURRENTFILE,HP2
                %>   FORFILES ../ARCHIVE/WAREHOUS/CHECK@

                This is the response:

                  Source file: /AMISYS/ARCHIVE/WAREHOUS/CHECK_9_19
                  FILE ID IS TOO LONG.  (NFT/3000 ERR 22)
                  INVALID SOURCE FILE ID.  (NS/NFTERR 49)

                  Source file: /AMISYS/ARCHIVE/WAREHOUS/CHECK_9_20
                  FILE ID IS TOO LONG.  (NFT/3000 ERR 22)
                  INVALID SOURCE FILE ID.  (NS/NFTERR 49)
