Synopsis

COPY [copyOption [copyOption]...]
{ copyInputfile 
TO 
  { AUXNAME | 'filename' [copyOption [copyOption]...] }
  [, copy_inputfile TO 
   { AUXNAME | 'filename' [copyOption [copyOption]...] }
  ]... 
| (copyInputfile TO
   { AUXNAME | 'filename' [copyOption [copyOption]...] }
  ) 
  [(copy_inputfile TO
    { AUXNAME | 'filename' [copyOption [copyOption]...] }
   )
  ]...
};

Oracle9i syntax:

                        copyOption :=
{ TAG [=] [']tag_name[']
| LEVEL [=] integer
| NOCHECKSUM
| CHECK LOGICAL
| keepOption
}

copyInputFile :=
{ DATAFILE datafileSpec
| DATAFILECOPY 
  { 'filename' | TAG [=] [']tag_name['] }
| ARCHIVELOG 'filename'
| CURRENT CONTROLFILE [FOR STANDBY]
| CONTROLFILECOPY 
  { 'filename' | TAG [=] [']tag_name['] }
}

Oracle8i syntax:

                        copyOption :=
{ TAG [=] [']tag_name[']
| LEVEL [=] integer
| NOCHECKSUM
| CHECK LOGICAL
}

copyInputFile :=
{ DATAFILE datafileSpec
| DATAFILECOPY 
  { 'filename' | TAG [=] [']tag_name['] }
| ARCHIVELOG 'filename'
| CURRENT CONTROLFILE
| CONTROLFILECOPY 
  { 'filename' | TAG [=] [']tag_name['] }
}
