Copying between work files

The @COPY statement, @MOVE statement, @ON statement or statement codes can be used to copy data from one work file to another.

The source work file and target work file may have different character sets. In such cases, the data to be copied can be converted from the source into the target character set. If characters from the source data are not present in the target character set then the transfer is rejected unless the user has defined a substitute character.
