FCOPY Reference Manual

Copying Inactive Records 

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
