Using the COPY Command

After typing in the primary COPY Command, you must specify the location at which you want lines copied in the current module. To copy the source lines before a given line, type in a B in its line number field.

When you press Enter, the COPY screen is displayed.

On the Copy Screen, you can key in the name, version, and language of the module you are considering for copy. If you want to Browse the module first, type a B in the ACTION field. If you want to select the module for copy type an S in the ACTION field. You can specify the name of a different dictionary, the name of a different node, and a different version number of the module.

From the COPY screen, you can either specify a first line, last line, and a line type for the lines you want to copy or leave these fields blank to copy the entire module. When you press the Enter key from the COPY screen, the lines are copied to the location determined by the A(after) or B(before).

Rather than type in a module name, you may select from a list of modules by entering a class and attribute on the COPY screen. A module selection list appears from which you can select a module by keying in the letter S to the left of the module name.
