Syntax: /[NO]VERSION Use /VERSION to copy objects to a directory where an object with the same name already exists. The new objects in the destination directory have the same version numbers as the original objects from which they were copied, regardless of whether you specified version numbers in the source path names. Unless there is an object in the destination directory with the same name as an object you are copying, there is no need to use /VERSION. Use /NOVERSION to guarantee that the destination directory does not already contain an object with the same name as the object you are copying. /NOVERSION is the default. The results of using the /VERSION qualifier vary depending on the existing children of the target directory. o COPY/VERSION copies an object to a destination directory if the destination directory does not already contain an object with the same name and same version number as the source object. In this case, DMU copies the specified version of the object in the source path name to the destination directory. The new object has the same version number as the source object. o COPY/VERSION copies an object to a destination directory and issues an informational message if the destination directory already contains an object with the same name and a higher version number. For example, you specify TEST_REC;2 and the destination directory contains TEST_REC;3. In this case DMU creates the object with the same name and version number as the source object, then issues the informational message. o COPY/VERSION does not copy an object if the destination directory contains an object with the same name and version number as the source object. For example, you specify TEST_REC;2 and the destination directory already contains TEST_REC;2. By default, a new version of an object has the same access control list and history list as the highest existing version of the object in the destination directory. You can copy the access control list from the source by using the /PROTECTION qualifier with /VERSION. To copy the access control list, you must have CONTROL (C) privilege at the highest existing version of the object in the destination directory. You can copy the history list from the source by using /HISTORY with /VERSION.
