Hi Larry,

What you are trying to do here is copy the file and re-name it as you go. The
SysCopyObject() function won't do this, as it uses the SOM method supplied by
the WPS for its drag-and-drop copy operations.

Instead, you will need an extension DLL that provides an interface to the
DosCopy() API. I use REXXLIB, from Quercus Systems Inc., to do this. You will
likely find RxExtras and YDBAUTIL also offer some similar facility.
