FCOPY Reference Manual

Copying Between Terminal Peripheral Devices 

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
