(9864) Files, Versions and DCL COPY?

[User]

Is there a single command that takes two files and merges them into a file that has the same name as one of the original files?

For example,

Code: Select all

$ COPY A.A;1,B.B;1 B.B;0

ERROR seen is:

Code: Select all

%COPY-E-OPENIN, error opening BCSC$DISK2:[BCSC.MVP.USERS.FHOENISCH]B.B;1 as input
-RMS-E-FLK, file currently locked by another user

Same problem happens if you use the APPEND command.

The OpenVMS Wizard cannot immediately think of a single-line DCL command for this purpose, using arbitrary (relative) version specifications.
