Description:
This subroutine will copy a file from one location to another, creating any required directories. All parameters are required, if any are missing the subroutine will CANCEL.
<error_message> identifies the field that will contain additional error information if the copy fails (Required).
<source_file> identifies the file to be copied (Required).
<dest_file> identifies the location where the file should be copied to (Required). This must include the destination file name, ie, you cannot just specifiy a target directory.
If --- .FILE COPY contains 'File Copy Failed', you can check the <error_message> field for more information on why the copy failed.
This command is run by the appx engine, not by 'shelling out' to the O/S level, therefore the destination file will have the permissions of the engine. On Linux/Unix systems, if the 'setuid' bit is set, then those will be the permissions of user 'appx'. If you do not have the 'setuid' bit set, then the those will be the permissions of whatever user you have the engine configured to impersonate. On Windows the permissions will be that of the current user.
