Connect:Direct for OpenVMS Copy Statement

The COPY statement copies files from one node to another.

The COPY statement contains a FROM parameter that specifies the source file name and a TO parameter that specifies the destination file name. You can specify other parameters to customize the file transfer operation.

To copy from one IBM® Connect:Direct® platform to another, refer to the appropriate COPY FROM and TO pages for those platforms. For example, if the source file is located on a Connect:Direct for OpenVMS node, refer to the OpenVMS COPY FROM information. If the destination for the file is a Connect:Direct for z/OS® node, refer to the z/OS TO information.

For information about copying from OpenVMS to a z/OS node, refer to Copying from an OpenVMS Node to a z/OS Node.

The following is the Connect:Direct for OpenVMS COPY statement format. Refer to Sterling Connect:Direct for OpenVMS Process Parameters for more information.
