No, they do not accomplish exactly the same task. Copy and paste makes a copy of the highlighted text to the clipboard while paste puts that copied data on the clipboard at the new location. Move (which is actually a cut and paste operation) removes the original from its current location and then pastes it to the new location where the paste command is executed.

When you move a file a copy of the file remains in the original location?

When you move a file, the file is physically transferred to a new location. There is no copy left in the original location, only the file in its new destination.

Difference between fup copy and fup load?

Use the FUP COPY command to move data one record at a time. COPY allows you to copy part of a file, and to copy records to and from devices other than disks,including tape drives, printers, and terminals. COPY also allows you to change file types by copying a file of one type into a target file of a different type. Use the FUP LOAD command to move data into a structured file. Data is transferred one record at a time from the source file and moved one block at a time into the destination file. The LOAD command has these advantages: • Loading files does not affect alternate-key values.Because data is written a block at a time, • LOAD is faster than COPY.
