The COPY DOCUMENT command copies the document specified by sourceName to the location specified by destinationName.
Both sourceName and destinationName can be a name referring to a document located in the database folder or a pathname referring to a document in relation to the root level of a volume.
An error will occur if there is already a document named destinationName unless you specify the optional * parameter instructing COPY DOCUMENT to delete and override the destination document.
The following example duplicates a document in its own folder:
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"C:\\FOLDER\\DocName2")The following example copies a document to the database folder (provided C:\\FOLDER is not the database folder):
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"DocName")The following example copies a document from one volume to another one:
COPY DOCUMENT("C:\\FOLDER\\DocName";"F:\\Archives\\DocName.OLD")The following example duplicates a document in its own folder overriding an already existing copy:
