Windows Powershell Script to split source files into COBOL src/COPYBOOKS/ directories etc

We need a powershell script, so it will work in windows that utilizes the existing RTCz source code analyzer (java: com.ibm.dmh.scan.classify.jar), to split up a directory of various types of IBM Mainframe Source files into COBOL SRC, COBOL COPYBOOK, PLI SRC, PLI INCLUDE directories.

    IBM Application Discovery for IBM Z is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently in line with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
