This subroutine will copy a file from one location to another, creating any required directories. All parameters are required, if any are missing the subroutine will CANCEL.

<error_message> contains additional error information if the command fails (Required). Must be PASSed with Share "Y".

<source_file> is the source file to be copied (Required).

<dest_file> is the location where the file should be copied to (Required). This must include the destination file name, ie, you cannot just specifiy a target directory.
