You use the FCOPY utility to copy and translate files. The FCOPY
command identifies a from file, a to file, and
one or more FCOPY functions. Some of the functions you may perform
include:
converting data copying files from other systems appending files extracting subsets of files displaying binary files in ASCII format copying byte-stream files
A from file is the input file for an FCOPY command; it
contains the data you want to copy.
A to file is the output file to which you want to copy
the data. They are the only two options that you must specify.
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.
