 The COPY command copies one or more input files to an output file.  
 COPY does not alter the organization of the file.  See HELP CONVERT
 for information on changing the organization of the file.

 Abbreviation: C
2 BLOCKSIZE

 COPY/BLOCKSIZE:n infile[s] outfile

 The /BLOCKSIZE qualifier defines the block size for magnetic tapes.
 This qualifier allows you to write bigger blocks onto magnetic tape,
 thereby saving some of the space taken by interrecord gaps.  
2 CONTIGUOUS

 COPY/CONTIGUOUS infile[s] outfile

 The /CONTIGUOUS qualifier specifies that the output file created
 will be contiguous.

2 OWN

 COPY/OWN infile[s] outfile

 The /OWN qualifier specifies that the owning UIC of the output file
 corresponds to the directory into which the file is being entered.
 If the /OWN qualifier is not specified, the owning UIC of the output
 file is your UIC, regardless of the directory into which the file
 is being entered.  This qualifier in combination with the specified 
 protection for the file helps control access to it.

2 REPLACE

 COPY/REPLACE infile[s] outfile

 The /REPLACE qualifier specifies that the output file be superseded,
 if it already exists.

2 SPAN_BLOCKS

 COPY/[NO]SPAN_BLOCKS infile[s] outfile

 The /SPAN_BLOCKS qualifier specified whether records copied from disk
 to magnetic tape will cross block boundaries or be transfered in record
 mode. Normally the file is copied with records crossing block boun-
 daries. If /NOSPAN_BLOCKS is specified, the file is copied in record
 mode.

2 DATE

 COPY/DATE:dd-mmm-yy infile[s] outfile

 The /DATE qualifier specifies that you wish the COPY command to copy
 only files created on the given date.

2 SPAN_BLOCKS

 COPY/SPAN_BLOCKS infile[s] outfile

 Use /SPAN_BLOCKS for copying to magtapes when you do not care whether
 the files being copied span tape blocks.
2 SINCE

 COPY/SINCE:dd-mmm-yy infile[s] outfile

 The /SINCE qualifier specifies that you wish the COPY command to 
 copy only files created on or after the given date.

 You can combine /THROUGH and /SINCE to create a range of dates.
2 THROUGH

 COPY/THROUGH:dd-mmm-yy infile[s] outfile

 The /THROUGH qualifier specifies that you wish the COPY command to 
 copy only files created on or before the given date.

 You can combine /THROUGH and /SINCE to create a range of dates.

2 TODAY

 COPY/TODAY infile[s] outfile

 The /TODAY qualifier specifies that you wish the COPY command to 
 copy only files created today.

2 EXCLUDE

 COPY/EXCLUDE:filespec infile[s] outfile

 The /EXCLUDE qualifer specifies that you wish the COPY command to 
 exclude the named file (or files if named with wildcards) in its  
 action.
