Syntax

Optional

Meaning

FileName_Source

String

No

Source file name, full path.

FileName_Destination

Remarks

 

The attributes of the source file are inherited by the destination file, with the exception of the Archive attribute, which is always set ON for the destination file.

 

Attempting to copy a file that is read locked (preventing read access), a error 70 will occur ("Permission denied").

 

If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.

 

If it is not possible to overwrite the existing destination file (for example, it is marked as read-only or in use by another program), the result will be a error 70 ("Permission denied").

 

Restrictions

 

Wildcards are not supported.
