Synopsis
Copy a data set, creating a new identifier.
Syntax
copy_data(fromid, toid)
Description
After copying the data set, any changes made to the original data set (that is, the `fromid` identifier) will not be reflected in the new (the `toid` identifier) data set.
Examples
Example 1
>>> copy_data(1, 2)
Example 2
Rename the data set with identifier 2 to "orig", and then delete the old data set:
>>> copy_data(2, "orig") >>> delete_data(2)
PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| fromid | int or str | The input data set. |
| toid | int or str | The output data set. |
