Hi,

Once my job is complete move that file already processed to some other directory as archive .

Please let me know how to move file into archive directoryr?

On Windows, that would be by leveraging the move command. And this illustrates how to get help on a specific DOS command which you get to by telling Windows you want to Run cmd:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Craig>move /?
Moves files and renames files and directories.

To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination

To rename a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2

  [drive:][path]filename1 Specifies the location and name of the file
                          or files you want to move.
  destination             Specifies the new location of the file. Destination
                          can consist of a drive letter and colon, a
                          directory name, or a combination. If you are moving
                          only one file, you can also include a filename if
                          you want to rename the file when you move it.
  [drive:][path]dirname1  Specifies the directory you want to rename.
  dirname2                Specifies the new name of the directory.

  /Y                      Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to
                          overwrite an existing destination file.
  /-Y                     Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite
                          an existing destination file.

The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.  Default is
to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from
within a batch script.

For generic help (i.e. a list of commands) type help at the command line.

On UNIX (or on Windows with the MKS Toolkit installed) you would use the very similar mv command. So basically you specify the current name and location of the file and then the directory you want to move it to.

You could write a script or batch file to make this as complicated as you needed or you may be able to use ExecDOS after job to effect the move, it's all up to you.
