VMS Help  —  CMS  COPY  ELEMENT  Command Parameters
 old-element-expression

    Specifies one or more existing elements to be copied. If you
    specify more than one element to be copied, you must use a
    wildcard character for the new element name. An old element
    expression can be an element name, a group name, a wildcard
    expression, or a list of these separated by commas.

 new-element-name

    Specifies the name for the new element. The name cannot be the
    same as any existing element name in the target library. The file
    name component cannot be 00CMS because this name is reserved for
    CMS. Wildcards are allowed. If you specify more than one element
    with COPY ELEMENT, you must use a wildcard character for the new
    element name.

 remark

    Specifies a character string for the creation remark of the new
    element to be logged in the history file with this command. The
    remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark was entered,
    then the remark from the old element is used for the creation
    remark of the new element, but a null remark ("") is logged in
    the history file.
