COPYACD
COPYACD
Copies the access control definition (ACD) associated with a file when the file is being
copied.
NOTE COPYACD applies only to MPE V/E Delta 4 and subsequent releases. COPYACD
is the default on MPE XL release 3.0 or later.
Syntax
;COPYACD
Operation
If the fromfile has an access control definition (ACD) and the user is authorized to copy
that file, both the fromfile and the ACD are copied to the tofile. If the fromfile does not have
an ACD or the user is not authorized to copy the file, the user is given the option to copy
the data only.
NOTE On MPE XL release 3.0 or later if COPYACD has not been entered, error
messages 915 and 916 will not be displayed. To ensure that ACD status has
successfully been duplicated, enter the COPYACD parameter to copy the files.
Restrictions
You cannot use COPYACD with the COMPARE function.
