Parameters
SourceName

The company name can have a maximum of 30 characters. If the database collation is case-sensitive, you can have one company called COMPANY and another called Company. However, if the database is case-insensitive, you cannot create companies with names that differ only by case.

Example
The following example is based on the Copy Company batch job, which is part of the CRONUS. The batch job takes the Company system table as a data item and uses the Name field as the value of the SourceName parameter. The value of the DestinationName parameter is specified in the New Company Name field in the request page, which is represented by the NewCompanyName variable.
