MOVE command

Syntax: (1) MOVE [T##]

(2) MOVE filename[,directory][,starting-line][,ending-line]

Discussion: The MOVE command moves (1) a block of lines, or (2) lines from another file into the current file. Moving is performed only after validation that the space between existing lines is sufficient to accommodate the additional lines.

MOVE never overwrites existing lines.

For information on defining a block of lines, see the help screen on BLOCK and block characters.
