Since we are on the subject of Archive how do you check the size of a Archive?

In cases where a subdirectory of oldpatients has a name starting with '039' and contains one file, the subdirectory and the one file get archived. In cases where a subdirectory of oldpatients has a name starting with '039' and contains multiple files and further levels of subdirectories, neither the subdirectory nor any of its descendents get archived. The system uses TSM 5.3.4.0 client code under Linux with a 2.6.9-42 kernel (probably RHEL 4). Is the client supposed to behave this way? If not, is a more current client code level likely to help? ====================================================================== If I understand your problem correctly, yes this is correct client behavior, and works the same in all subsequent client levels. This has always been a common trap, because if you look up "wildcard" in the client book, the first reference to it says "* is the match-all character". But if you keep reading, a later reference to "wildcard" says: "In a command, wildcard characters can only be used in the file name or extension. They cannot be used to specify destination files, file systems, or directories". So * is not a wildcard for matching directory names.
