Thanks Steve. The thing is I do not know much about Unix Commands and their flags. It will be great if you can send a link of the document that you are mentioned. I looked (clearly in wrong pleases) and could not find much about “pax”. I was going to look more on Monday morning but the if would be a short cut for me if you send me a link to such a document.

My reading of the doc is that if you create the pax file with the -t option, and unwind the file including the flag -p eopx this will do what you want; but I haven't tested it. > --- On Fri, 8/28/09, McKown, John <jmck...@healthmarkets.com> wrote: > > > From: McKown, John <jmck...@healthmarkets.com> > Subject: Re: to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Date: Friday, August 28, 2009, 2:39 PM > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf >> Of Shahnaz >> Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 1:25 PM >> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu >> Subject: to copy directories and to preserve all the attributes >> >> Hi all, Under Unix System Services (z/OS 1.9), how can I copy some >> directories from one to another and preserve all the attributes (i.e., last >> modified, last changed, last accessed, created, etc.).
