Further information
1. This function calls directly the copy routine of the module. It is therefore recommended to check whether the type supports this functionality before using this function (see gettypeprop).
2. This routine can also be used with structured user defined types (like sets, arrays or records).
3. Instead of a type code the argument type may be XPRM_STR_SET, XPRM_STR_LST or XPRM_STR_ARR to perform copies between sets, lists or arrays (source and destination entities must be compatible).
