Name-prefix argument
Available on both the COPY-DATASET and COPY-TEMP-TABLE methods,
the name-prefix argument is an optional character
expression used as the prefix for naming the target ProDataSet or
temp-table, respectively, when the target has as yet no definition.
If the parameter is not passed or is passed as the Unknown value (?),
the AVM uses the default "cpy_" prefix. If the
parameter is passed as an empty string "", then no prefix is added
and the target ProDataSet or temp-table will have the same name
as the source.
