Use the COPY command to copy portions of the directory hierarchy  and
  their related data definitions from one area of the CDD to another.

  With the  COPY  command,  you  specify  the  dictionary  directories,
  subdictionaries,  and  objects  you  want copied, and you specify the
  dictionary directory or subdictionary to  which  you  want  the  copy
  appended.   In  addition  to portions of the directory hierarchy, you
  can copy history and access control lists.  You can also create a log
  of   the   given   names   of   each   copied  dictionary  directory,
  subdictionary, and object.
