It depends on the scope of command and WHILE and FOR clauses. COPY NEXT nnn will move pointer to +nnn record from the current. COPY WHILE will move pointer to the first record that doesn't satisfy WHILE criteria and so on. It's no different from any other command that works with table, like SCAN for example.
