The read-only Object Type field shows the type of object for which rules are being copied. For commands, this is *CMD.

The read-only Object and Library fields show the object and library for which rules are being copied.

The remaining fields indicate the command to which the rules are being copied:

New Object

The name of the command. This can also be a generic name ending in an asterisk ("*") or *ALL, which refers to all the relevant items in the library named in the next field for which more specific settings have not been created. To see a list of files, place the cursor in this field and press the F4 key.

New Library

The name of the library containing the command. This can also be *UNDFN for undefined values or *ALL, which refers to all libraries for which more specific settings for that command have not been created. To see a list of libraries, place the cursor in this field and press the F4 key
