Description

   COPY transfers a file or files from an input volume to an output
   volume.

   You can create multiple output files by specifying multiple input
   files. When multiple output files are created, the corresponding
   field from each input file is used in the output file name.

   If you do not specify a version number for Files-11 output, COPY
   applies a version number as follows:

   o  The same version number as that of the input file, if the
      input volume structure supports version numbers and no file
      exists with the same name and type

   o  A version number that is one greater than the highest version
      number of an existing file with the same file name and file
      type

   o  Version 1, if neither of the above applies

   If you use an asterisk (*)  wildcard character to specify the
   output file version number, COPY uses the version numbers of the
   associated input files (if any) as the version numbers of the
   output files.

   Note that ANSI-formatted magnetic tapes do not handle version
   numbers in the same manner as disks.

   EXCHANGE might reformat files during the copy operation. The
   defaults for reformatting are dependent on the record and volume
   format qualifiers that are attached to both the input and output
   file specifications, as well as the type fields of the file
   specifications.

   The COPY command does not copy a file with the SYS type unless
   you specify the /SYSTEM qualifier. EXCHANGE displays a message if
   it passes over one or more SYS files during a copy operation.

   EXCHANGE does not copy files with the type BAD if the file
   specification contains wildcards. EXCHANGE does not display a
   message when it passes over one or more BAD files during a copy
   operation. Therefore, to copy a file with the type BAD, specify
   the file name explicitly instead of using wildcards.
