the source version to the new version.

internal-name         Internal name of the target version.  If not
                      specified, the internal name is the same as the
                      target-version-name.

Description 

The target version cannot already exist.

If the source version is linked to a version in the common domain, the
target version is linked to that same version.

The new version's status is always automatically set to test, even if the
source version's status is production or archival.  Refer to the
SETVERSION command for information about changing the status of a
version.

Open Mode:       Shared-update or exclusive-update

Scope:           DA scope or any scope with version capability.  The
                 scope with which the dictionary is open is the owner of
                 the new version.
