In order to copy to or from terminal peripherals, your terminal
type must be set to 10 or 12 (depending on
your terminal), message reception must be turned off, and the
parity toggle switch must be set to NONE.
FCOPY checks these settings before it begins to copy the files
you specified in a command that references a
terminal peripheral device. If your terminal is not set
correctly, FCOPY prompts you to log on again and set
the terminal type using the TERM parameter. For more information on terminal types, refer to the System Operation and Resources
Management Reference Manual (32033-90005) for MPE V/E or Controlling System Activity Reference Manual (32650-90155) for MPE XL.
If message reception is
not turned off, FCOPY turns it off for you. Before copying the
files, FCOPY prompts you to set the parity
toggle switch.
