COPY IDMS FILE Statement

The COPY IDMS FILE statements copy file descriptions from the dictionary into the program. Each COPY IDMS FILE statement generates the file definition that includes record size, block size, and recording mode from the dictionary. Any records included in the file through the Integrated Data Dictionary (IDD) facilities are also copied.
