NEW
Creates a new permanent disk file as the tofile.
Syntax
;NEW
Operation
The new file is created in the account and group specified at the start
of your job or session (unless otherwise specified). Its name is the
name specified with the TO parameter.
File Characteristics
The default characteristics of the new disk file are summarized in
appendix B. If you want to predefine the characteristics of a new file,
use the MPE FILE command to define them and then backreference that file
in the FCOPY command.
Terminating or Interrupting an Operation
If the FCOPY operation containing the NEW function terminates because of
an error, FCOPY discards the new file. If you interrupt the operation by
pressing CTRL Y, FCOPY saves the new file.
Restrictions
You cannot combine NEW with CHAR, CLEAR, KANA, OCTAL, HEX, or HEXO.
Examples
In the following example, FCOPY creates a new disk file named NEWFILE in
the user's account and group, and then copies the disk file OLDFILE into
NEWFILE.
>FROM=OLDFILE;TO=NEWFILE;NEW
