KANA
Displays the contents of a file, record by record, in the form of JIS
character symbols. KANA displays symbols not represented by characters
in JIS code as decimal points.
Syntax
[ {HEX }]
;KANA [;{HEXO }] [;NORECNUM] [;TITLE=title]
[ {OCTAL}]
Where:
OCTAL Displays octal codes. Refer to the OCTAL
description in this chapter.
HEX Displays hexadecimal codes. Refer to the HEX
description in this chapter.
HEXO Displays the data in hexadecimal and the record
number in octal. Refer to the HEXO description in
this chapter.
NORECNUM Omits file identification information, record
numbers, and word offset numbers.
title Is a character string to be used as the title of
the display. If the tofile is a printer, the title
is printed at the top of each page. Otherwise, the
title is written only once, at the beginning of the
tofile. The title may contain up to 62 characters
but may not be broken to be continued on the
following line.
File Attributes
The fromfile must have read access and the tofile must have write access.
The tofile is normally a list device such as $STDLIST, but it can also be
another device for intermediate storage. The record size for an
intermediate storage device should be the same as that of the list device
that ultimately prints the data, and must be equal to or greater than 60
bytes.
Operation
You can combine the KANA function with the OCTAL, HEX, or HEXO functions,
one at a time, to display numerical codes as well as character symbols.
You may want to display numerical codes along with character symbols
when, for example, the output device to which you are copying
automatically upshifts lowercase characters (refer to "Notes" below).
The tofile can be a printer, a terminal, or an intermediate disk file.
If the tofile is a disk file, it must be at least 60 bytes in length.
If you do not specify NORECNUM and there are words repeated in the file,
FCOPY suppresses the duplicate lines and displays a message in the form
SAME TO XXXX-1, where XXXX is in octal. If the entire record consists of
the same character, FCOPY displays at least one line of the repeated
character before printing the SAME TO message. However, if all the
characters are blanks in an ASCII file or zeros in a binary file, FCOPY
displays only the SAME TO message.
