I'm working on a utility that will update a "application environment" library by pulling in file definitions from another environment library (the "source" library, usually a "test" version of the application environment) and applying them to the existing data in the "target" library (usually a "production" version of the product environment).

Scenario: Universal Foobar has been running the application on the environment in the FOO_PROD library for some time, but they have prepared an improved version of the database, and have been running tests on a modified version in the FOO_TEST library. They are now satisfied that the environment as defined in FOO_TEST is going to work as advertised, and want to put that version into production.

So for this utility that programmatically upgrades FOO_PROD to the new data definitions in FOO_TEST, should the command be

UPDATEFOO FOO_TEST FOO_PROD

or should it be

UPDATEFOO FOO_PROD FOO_TEST

???
