FCOPY UTILITY
FCOPY/3000 is the standard HP 3000 utility program that allows you to
copy data from one file to another, creating a new KSAM file is desired,
to copy selected data, to make multiple copies of the same file, or to
display data in a variety of formats. With some exceptions, the same
FCOPY functions used to copy other HP 3000 files can be used to copy KSAM
files.
Table 2-4 contains a summary of the FCOPY function parameters that apply
to copying KSAM files. The function parameters: SKIPEOF,IGNERR, and
SUBSET alone, are not included in this list since they are not applicable
to KSAM files. Two functions are included that apply only to copying
from KSAM files: these are KEY= and NOKSAM. Otherwise, this table
includes all the standard FCOPY functions. Note that this summary is
meant only to refresh your memory and that it assumes a knowledge of
FCOPY. (For a complete description of FCOPY and its operation, refer to
the FCOPY/ 3000 reference manual.)
RUNNING FCOPY
The FCOPY utility program is executed by the MPE command:
:RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS
Program FCOPY prompts for command input with a greater-than sign (>) in
column 1 of the next line. You may then enter an FCOPY command in
response to the prompt. If you are executing FCOPY in a batch job rather
than in a session, you enter the command (omitting the prompt) in column
1 of the line following the :RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS command.
EXITING FROM FCOPY
In order to terminate FCOPY and retum to the MPE Operating System, enter
the following command:
>EXIT or >E
