Copy (XmlDoc function)

Copy an XmlDoc object

Copy is a member of the XmlDoc class.

This method returns an exact copy of the method XmlDoc object. It is identical to the XmlDoc DeepCopy method (?? reftxt='DeepCopy' refid=dcopxml.).

Since XmlDoc objects are relatively simple, that is, they contain no other objects, they are always copyable and deep copyable, as described in ??Copying objects.

Syntax

  %cop = doc:Copy

Syntax Terms

%cop

An XmlDoc object variable to contain the copy of doc. %cop does not have to be empty (?? refid=dstates.).

doc

An XmlDoc object expression.

Usage Notes

• The method object (doc) may be null. The output of a copy of a null object is a null object.
