Copy Files Within Powerbuilder 6.5

[Darren Cameron]

Roy, we have been using SHFileOperation to copy files using wildcards but
have run into 2 problems with it that possibly you can help with.
1. On WinNT Terminal Server SP4 and SP5, when trying to copy files using the
wild card (*.*) it gives me a Windows error message saying that the file or
path could not be found, but copies the files anyway. Is there any way to
suppress the error message so the file copy executes without user
intervention ?
2. On Win2000 Terminal Server SP1, I get basically the same message but the
file will not copy using wildcards. If I hard code a file name then
SHFileOperation will copy the file but the problem with that is, we need the
flexibility to copy varying files and CopyFile (which does work with Win2K)
is better for hard coded filenames.
We are using PB 6.5.1
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Darren Cameron

There is a flag to perform silet file operations -- I can't recall what it
is off the top of my head, but look at the instance variable constant
declarations.

I am not quite sure how CopyFile is better as far as hard-coded filenames
are concerned. Can you explain?
