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

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

The remaining fields indicate the file or files to which the rules are being copied:

New Object

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