??COPY (Copy Files)

The ??COPY (Copy Files) command allows files between tapes and disks to be copied without the use of the WFL compiler. Since the normal COPY command is compiled by WFL, this file duplication command should be used only when the WFL library code file is missing, or does not freeze. Unlike WFL COPY, the default KIND of the source or destination is set to TAPE even if the name is PACK or DISK. 

Syntax

Note: The SERIALNO attribute can be specified only for a source or destination that is a tape

Explanation
