Field

Description

LIBRARY

Library containing the calendar into which the years must be copied. Must be an existing library. Default: The current library.

CALENDAR

Name of the calendar into which the year must be copied.

Note: A year can only be copied to another calendar. It cannot be copied to its own calendar (even if the year is renamed).

If the selected calendar does not exist in the Calendar List, the calendar is created when the request is performed.

YEAR

Name of the year to be copied. If multiple years are selected, the window is initially displayed with the first selected year. As each request is performed or canceled, the next requested year name appears.

To perform a request, press Enter.

To cancel a request, press END (PF03/PF15) or RESET (PF04/PF16).

Note: BMC recommends avoid using the Copy option when the source year is a leap year (366 days) and the target year is a common year (365 days). If the aim is simply to copy all the dates from the leap year to the following year, use the I (Insert) option.
