COPY
Copies one file to another by creating a new file or by overwriting an existing file.
The COPY command can be used to copy files to and from HFS directories. You cannot use
COPY to copy directories to or from other directories. Users with SM capabilities are able to
copy files to MPE accounts outside of their current logon account.
Syntax
COPY[FROM=]
sourcefile [{ ;TO= | , | blank} targetfile ] [ ASK | YES | NO ]
Parameters
sourcefile The name of the file that is to be copied.
A file with HFS syntax must begin with a dot (.), or a slash (/).
You may not specify system-wide ($ prefix), CM KSAM, or privileged files
as
sourcefile or targetfile .
targetfile The name of the file to which sourcefile is to be copied. If targetfile is
omitted, the source file is copied to
sourcefile in the user's current
working directory (CWD). You may qualify
targetfile with both file and
group name, or specify only the destination
group or specify only the
destination directory. To specifiy a group name as the target use
.groupname . If only group is specified, COPY copies the source file to a file
named
sourcefile targetfile . Likewise if only a directory is specified,
COPY copies the source file to a file named
targetfile/sourcefile .
NOTE Since .groupname can be specified as the targetfile , and HFS file names
can also start with a dot (.), this could lead to confusion as to whether an MPE
group or HFS file name is desired for the
targetfile . If the targetfile is
an HFS filename starting with a dot (.), then the
targetfile must be
preceded with a dot and slash (./). For example, to represent a
targetfile
