Hi Trung,

re: what is output of 'DMAP AREA09'

This is what I suspected.

> What caused the IMGCOPY to fail?

Good question.  I can't comment since I am not able to look at
the permissions on the directory into which the copied images
were to be written, etc.

Wow!  This is extremely weird.

Please send the output of:

DATALOC LIST LOC

> Looked like the source image at LOC/POS got erased after the copy??

I don't think so.  There is nothing in IMGCOPY that would/could erase
a source image after a copy.

Cheers,

Tom
