Hi,
I am aware of three options to achieve this.

******* Option 1;

Options noxwait;
x 'copy c:\~your path\*.sas7*
           d:\~new path';
run;


******** Option 2;

libname newlib 'd:\~your path';
proc copy in=work out=newlib;
run;


******* Option 3;

proc datasets nolist;
copy in=work out=newlib;
quit;
run;

******************************************;
I hope these would wrk for you.


Cheers
Praveen
