MOD.Copy Var
Copy variables together with their type and content from a specified Module to a specified Module.
Intention
You can use this command to copy one or multiple variables from any specified module in P1, to any specified module in P2.
All the variables are copied together with their type and content, to the destination Module-Space.
It does not matter in which Module-Space you currently are.
All copied variables will still be available in the module where they are now and they will exist in the Module specified in P2 as a Copy.
If there is a variable with this name already in the destination Module-Space, that Variable will be deleted/overwritten - see Sample below.
Note that MOD.Copy Var is generally slower than MOD.Move Var.
As MOD.Move Var will move the complete variable like a rename operation while MOD.Copy Var will indeed Create a new Variable with the complete data in the target module space.
Syntax
MOD.Copy Var|P1|P2|P3
Parameter Explanation
P1 - Is the name or number of a Module from where to copy the Variables in P3 to.
P2 - Is the name or number of a Module where to copy the Variables in P3 to.
P3 - List with Variables that shall be copied to the P3 Module. There is no hard coded limitation on the number of Variables in that list.
