cp — Copy a file
Format
Description
not modified to be the same as the source directory. If is not
specified, copytree runs in a mode to check the source file tree.
0 Successful completion
>0 An error occurred
Any other value means that there were errors.
If the variable _UNIX03=YES is set:
cp [–cfimMUv] [–p|F format|B|T|X] [-W seqparms=params] [–Z] [–O u |
c=codeset] file1 file2

cp –r [-H|L|P] [–cfimp] [–Z] [–O u | c=codeset] source... directory
If the variable _UNIX03 is unset or not ″YES″:

cp –r [-H|L] [–cfimp] [–Z] [–O u | c=codeset] source... directory
cp copies files to a target named by the last argument on its command line. If the
target is an existing file, cp overwrites it; if it does not exist, cp creates it. If the
target file already exists and does not have write permission, cp denies access and
continues with the next copy.
If you specify more than two path names, the last path name (that is, the target)
must be a directory. If the target is a directory, cp copies the sources into that
directory with names given by the final component of the source path name.
You can also use cp to copy files to and from MVS data sets. If you specify more
than one file to be copied, the target (last path name on command line) must be
either a directory or a partitioned data set. If the target is an MVS partitioned data
set, the source cannot be a UNIX directory.
cp does not support the copying to or from GDGs. To use those MVS data sets,
user must specify the real data set name.
When copying records, the string ″ \n″ is copied the same way as the string ″\n″:
both are read back as ″\n″, where ″\n″ indicates that z/OS C++ will write a record
containing a single blank to the file (the default behavior of z/OS C/C++). All other
