Lets you omit user labels when copying from a tape or disk file
to another file.

Operation |
|
If you do not specify NOUSERLABELS and both the fromfile
and tofile are labeled, FCOPY copies the
fromfile labels to the tofile labels.
Use NOUSERLABELS when copying from tape to disk, or disk to
tape, to prevent FCOPY from changing the
user label. A disk file's user label is 256 bytes long, while a
tape file's user label is 80 bytes long. If you omit
NOUSERLABELS when copying from disk to tape, FCOPY copies
only the first 80 bytes of the disk file's user
label. If you omit NOUSERLABELS when copying from tape to
disk, FCOPY pads the additional 176 bytes
with zeros. FCOPY issues a warning message whenever you copy user
labels from a disk file to a tape file or from tape to disk.
Examples |
|
All the files in the examples below have at least one user label.
The command below copies the first file on TAPEA to a disk
file named MYFILE1 without copying the user
label of the tape file.
>FROM=*TAPEA;TO=MYFILE1;NOUSERLABELS
|
The command below copies the second file on TAPEA, including
user labels, to the disk file MYFILE2. The
last 176 bytes of MYFILE2's user label are zeros.
>FROM=*;TO=MYFILE2;SKIPEOF=2
|
The command below copies the first 80 bytes of the disk file
DLBLD's user label to the tape file *TAPE1's
user label and then copies the file.
