Although you can use FCOPY to copy from one peripheral device to another, it is usually more efficient to use the local capabilities of the terminal. Refer to documentation describing your terminal for instructions for copying between local devices.

Examples

The following examples show how to use FCOPY to copy to and from terminal peripheral devices.

The command below copies the first file on the right cartridge tape unit of an HP 2645 terminal to the disk file named DFILE1:



   >FROM=$CTUR;TO=DFILE1

The command in the next example displays the disk file named DFILE4 on the HP 2644A terminal line printer in both octal and character formats:



   >FROM=DFILE4;TO=$HARD;OCTAL;CHAR

The command below copies the third file on the magnetic tape unit MAGTP to the left cartridge tape unit of an HP 2645 terminal:

   >FROM=*MAGTP;TO=$CTUL;SKIPEOF=3;SUBSET
