Purpose
Copies a file. You can issue this statement from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
Save File old_filespec As new_filespec [ Append ] old_filespec is a string representing the name (and, optionally, the path) of an existing file; the file must not be open.
new_filespec is a string representing the name (and, optionally, the path) to which the file will be copied; the file must not be open.
Description
The Save File statement copies a file. The file must not already be open for input/output.
If you include the optional Append keyword, and if the file new_filespec already exists, the contents of the file old_filespec are appended to the end of the file new_filespec.
Do not use Save File to copy a file that is a component of an open table (for example, filename.tab, filename.map, etc.). To copy a table, use the Commit Table...As statement.
The Save File statement cannot copy a file to itself.
