Code:
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>cp /bmunix/data/branch00/spool/lst01d.dat /bmunix/data/branch00/spool/solstc.dat
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>echo $?
0
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>find . -name 'sol*' -ls
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>

Nothing.

Can't find any clean up scripts as well.

first check whether the folder has any attributes set among using getfacl , lsattr, or the owner of the file
this case generally observed when we are working with temp group using the newgrp command
the file create under this may not work properly, kindly check it

Code:
/bmunix/data/branch00>getfacl -d spool

# file: spool
# owner: bmuser
# group: bmgroup
/bmunix/data/branch00>getfacl -a spool

# file: spool
# owner: bmuser
# group: bmgroup
user::rwx
group::rwx              #effective:rwx
mask:rwx
other:rwx

Code:
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>ls sol*
sol*: No such file or directory
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>cp lst01d.dat solstc.dat
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>ls sol
sol: No such file or directory
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>dd if=lst01d.dat of=solstc.dat bs=4
97618+1 records in
97618+1 records out
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>ls solstc.dat
solstc.dat
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>

Code:
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>rm solstc.dat
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>cat lst01d.dat > solstc.dat
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>ls -l solstc.dat
-rw-r--r--   1 bmuser   bmgroup   390474 Jan  4 08:44 solstc.dat
/bmunix/data/branch00/spool>

It creates the file using the two commands you jyst gave me, but cp doesn't work.
