Absence of support for Inline Copy during LOAD in WSL

For DB conversions that must be performed using DROP/CREATE rather than ALTER, the LOAD utility in WSL is currently executed without the inline copy functionality. Therefore, an additional Image Copy is required as a standalone utility to make the...
