We are trying to setup a command file that will be processing some large
files into a number of smaller files.  The record is read into a system
variable and then echoed into a file using CIOR.  The problem is that the
large file is a copylib and the smaller files are the members.  The issue
being that the records could (and do) contain the characters > and <.  The
command interpreter is evaluating these as part of command IO redirection
and failing on file not found or illegal filename errors.

Has anybody run across this and successfully gotten around it?
