Copying an Existing Directory Entry

You can add a new Directory Entry by copying one that already exists. Copying a directory entry is also the only way you can change the name of an existing directory entry.

To copy an existing directory entry:

1. Type 3 in the Opt column for the entry on the Work with DB Directory Entries screen (STRDB > 1) and press Enter. The Copy DB Directory Entry screen appears, with the selected directory entry appearing in both the Directory Entry and New Directory Entry fields:
