MOD.Copy to
Copy variables together with their type and content from the actual Module-Space to a specified Module.
Intention
You can use this command to copy one or multiple variables from the module where are now, to a Module specified in P1.
All the variables are copied together with their type and content, to the other Module-Space.
They will still be available in the module where they are now and they will exist in the Module specified in P1.
If there is a variable with this name already in the destination Module-Space, that Variable will be deleted.
Note that MOD.Copy to is generally slower than MOD.Move to.
As MOD.Move to will move the complete variable like a rename operation while MOD.Copy to will indeed Create a new Variable with the complete data in the target module space.
Syntax
MOD.Copy to|P1|P2
Parameter Explanation
P1 - Is the name or number of a Module where to copy the Variables in P2 to.
P2 - List with Variables that shall be moved to the last Module. There is no hard coded limitation on the number of Variables in that list.
$$NAM=Other
MOD.Copy to|$$NAM|$$VAA,$$VAB,$$VAC
