Details
This tool copies files using operating
system commands. It therefore has the following behavior:
- Copied files can be of any type. It could be a SAS produced
file or any file on the operating system.
- The source file date and time attribute are retained.
 |
Source and
destination file specifications do not require to be surrounded by
quotes. The utility will already add the double quotes for UNC
paths. |
Example %xcopy(source=c:\temp\myfile1.txt, dest=c:\temp\myfile2.txt);
