Field or Control	Description
DELETE	(DEL) The item will be deleted from the target database during the copy.
COPY	The item will be copied to the target database during the copy.

Other Action

Describes the action when the system finds differences in record or field definitions.

Note:

Used for record and field definitions only.

Field or Control	Description
