The file system marks inactive records in relative I/O (RIO) and in message files. Normally when you copy such a file, FCOPY does not copy inactive records.

To copy exactly an RIO or message file, including inactive records, follow these steps:

  1. Specify NOBUF and COPY in FILE commands describing both the fromfile and tofile. For example,

       >:FILE OLD;NOBUF;COPY
    
       >:FILE NEW;NOBUF;COPY
    
  2. Backreference the FILE commands with an asterisk before the fromfile and tofile names. For example,

       >FROM=*OLD;TO=*NEW
