I dunno if jBase is the same as D3 in this regard but when using the DBMS Copy
verb I think the data is pulled into the DBMS first before it's written back to
the OS. That's going to be Very slow. It would be better to use the DBMS to
script command-line operations. You can write a large script and execute it all
once. You can do an Execute "!Copy..." of individual files. Or you can create a
huge OS command and then do a single Execute.
And I could be completely off... :)
As to paths with spaces in them, I wrote a utility a while back which retrieves
the short-directory name using the Windows DIR command. Then I used that in my
commands to eliminate grief from spaces. I don't think that's necessary here
but if you need to do that it's possible.

I have several thousand image files I want to copy from various Windows folders
(a couple hundred) to one Windows folder. My plan was to cheat and build a
paragraph to copy the image files. The problem comes when the source folder
name has spaces in it. It seems COPY doesn't like them, and truncates the file
name (actually the folder name) at the first space.
Example:
COPY "e:\TinyBearMarketing\GOLDCREST\Images\Purple Martin Decoys
& Starling Excluder Doors\" PME2.jpg
results in:
** Error [ 201 ] **
Unable to open file "e:\TinyBearMarketing\GOLDCREST\Images\Purple
I've tried with and without quotes, so that isn't it. Has anyone
found a way to overcome this, or a better way to do it? The reason
I'm using COPY (well, actually COPYTO, a one-line COPY frontend)
because I can build the COPY statements in a list driven JQL report.
