14-2 File Instructions
COP - Copy File
Instruction Type: output
The COP instruction copies blocks of data from one location into another.
The source and destination file types must be the same except bit (B) and
integer (N); they can be interchanged. It is the address that determines the
maximum length of the block to be copied, as shown in the following
table:
COP
