Process Overview
Copy a file.
No check is made for the existence of the specified output file, which therefore can be overwritten.
If retrieval criteria are in force, the output file only contains those records which match the criteria. If an index file is copied, the output file contains the joined set of files accessed by the index; it is not itself an index.
