Connect:Direct for UNIX Copy Statement

The copy statement copies a file from one IBM® Connect:Direct® node to another.

The copy statement contains a from clause that specifies the source file name and a to clause that specifies the destination file name. You can specify additional parameters to customize the file transfer.

To copy from one IBM Connect:Direct platform to another, refer to the appropriate Copy Statement chapters for the platforms.

The copy statement produces a return code that can be used in conditional statements.

The following is the Connect:Direct for UNIX copy statement format. Refer to IBM Connect:Direct for UNIX Process Parameters for more information.
