FCOPY
Syntax
FCOPY FROM=filename;TO=filename[;options]
Operation
Use FCOPY to copy and translate files. The FCOPY command identifies a
from file, a to file, and one or more functions that let you convert
data, copy files from other systems, append files, extract subsets of
files, display binary files in ASCII format, and other tasks.
* A from file is the input file for an FCOPY command; it contains
the data that you want to copy.
* A to file is the output file to which you want to copy the data.
Users with SM capabilities can use FCOPY to copy files to MPE accounts
outside of their current logon account.
To accommodate the introduction of POSIX in MPE/iX, the FCOPY utility
lets you copy files from HFS directories into accounts and groups and
into other HFS directories. Users with SM capabilities can use FCOPY to
copy files to MPE accounts outside of their logon account.
Keep in mind the following points when using FCOPY to work with HFS
files:
* If the from file or to file name begins with an asterisk (*), the
file equation can resolve a filename in HFS syntax that begins
with a dot(.) or a slash (/).
* If you are copying files to an HFS directory, you must first use
the FILE command and specify the file name in HFS syntax
* You cannot use FCOPY to copy directories. If the from file or to
file is a directory, you will see an error message.
* You cannot copy compatability mode (CM) files to HFS directories.
