procopy -relative

Is there any way to use procopy to copy a database but keep the .st file as a relative path? Similar to when using prorest -relative?

use prodb instead of procopy

This does and does not do what I need. Trick is I also would like to to use the .st file in the destination directory rather than the source directory.

The .st file contains the database structure ( areas and extents ) in ASCII, readable format. At runtime this file is not needed as the database structure is stored in binary form in the .db file, always with complete paths. Thus, when the .st file gets written out, for example doing a prostrct list or a procopy, it will always contain the absolute paths. AFAIK there is no way around that. As a workaround you can edit the .st file after it has been created and replace the absolute with relative paths.

Actually I did discover that procopy source destination -relative does work.
