In ENTMAINT Mode

You can create a new version of an existing occurrence using the COPY command in the ENTMAINT Mode. Only the occurrence is copied, not the structure. Do not use the COPY function in ENTMAINT Mode for a CA Datacom/DB Model or CA FILE Model structure.

When you copy an occurrence, you create a new version of the occurrence in TEST status with the next higher version number available for that occurrence. For example, if you have an occurrence in TEST status versions 1, 2, and 3 and copy the PROD status version, CA Datacom Datadictionary assigns the new TEST status occurrence as Version 4.

Use the following format for this command:

Note: If your completed command exceeds the 76 spaces available in one command line, use the prompter panel to issue the command.
