Reality V15.2 Online Documentation (MoTW) Revision 3
Copy an Object (dbo_copy_object.htm)
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 of the object an object-specific copy method must be used if available.
