KSAM/3000 Reference Manual

USING KSAMUTIL AND FCOPY 

This conversion method can be used for any file that is serially
accessible.  First you create a KSAM/3000 file using the BUILD command of
KSAMUTIL. At this time you can define your file with any legitimate
specification of the BUILD command.  Once the file is built (created),
you can run FCOPY to copy your existing file to the newly created file.
No special FCOPY commands are needed.  You simply specify your existing
file as the FROM= file and the newly created KSAM file as the TO= file.
All connections between the data file and the key file are made
automatically.  (Refer to section II of this manual for a discussion of
both the KSAMUTIL BUILD command and FCOPY as applied to KSAM/3000 files.)
