Copy issues

"more than one source value with contraction disallowed" error pops up when I try to copy a bunch of variables from a quarterly sheet to an annual sheet using the "copy" function?

Really? Anyone know what's going on?

Hard to say without seeing it.

Hi Gareth, thanks for your response. Here is the code I'm running:

wfopen %GMFM

pageselect Quarterly

copy can_* slm_sourcedata_26th_actuarial::Annual\can_*

Appreciate your help!

I figured out what the problem was. I needed to assign the conversion standard. I changed copy to copy(c=a) and it was fine. Thanks anyway!
