Jeff,

When your folder names have spaces in them, using macro expansion will cause problems. There is no need for macro expansion, you can simply use a named expression. Also, the you do not need a file mask for destination folder. Try:

* SNIPPED PRECEDING CODE
lcHomePath1  = lcHomePath1+"\*.*"
COPY FILE (lcHomePath1) TO (lcdirectory1)
