Copy an Object

A DataBasic object (DBO) only contains a reference to the actual object. DataBasic is unable to replicate an object since it is not the owner, and has no knowledge of the object’s structure or contents.

Hence, when a DBO is saved in a DataBasic variable it is only the reference to the underlying object that is replicated, such that both variables now operate on the same external object.

To create a new instantiation Closed of the object an object-specific copy method must be used if available.

Syntax

DBO1 = DBO2
