There is (was) a 6.5 defect in the COPY command where if you omit the
TO= filename it aborts.  The problem was an uninitialized string length.
The workaround is to always specify a TO= name.  E.g.

   copy somefile.group.acct .

will copy "somefile.group.acct" to somefile in your CWD (logon group).

HTH,
 Jeff

p.s. I don't recall which release has this defect fixed, but it is
not a problem in 7.0.
