A fix is available
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The copy mode of pax (-r -w) does not overwrite existing destination files. Since the -k flag is used to explicitly prevent the overwriting of files, it is assumed that without the -k flag, it should overwrite. Also, if the destination directory already exists - a file that exists in the source directory but does not exist in the destination directory may fail to be copied.
Local fix
no fix available
Problem summary
pax command handles destination directory incorrectly when no overwrite flag is used.
Problem conclusion
Change the conditional statement so as to ensure destination directory is handled correctly.
Temporary fix
