You can do an ADIR() on the original file and on the copied file to compare the filesize, etc. Are you using COPY FILE or COPY TO to copy a table. Date/Time stamps probably will not be the same with COPY TO for a table. For tables, you could also count the number of records. Be leary of Reccount() based on status of SET DELETED. COPY TO with SET DELETED ON will not copy deleted records, so RECCOUNT() could be different.
