You can use magnetic tapes to copy disk files from one HP 3000
system to another. If all files on a single tape have
the same record size and type, copy the files from the
first system to tape. Then copy the tape files
onto the second system, as follows: Issue an MPE FILE command describing the tape to which you want
to copy the disk files. You must specify the record size
and structure. For example,
>:FILE T;DEV=TAPE;REC=-80,16,F,ASCII
|
Copy each of the disk files to the tape. Use an asterisk to
backreference the FILE command describing the tape. Use
SKIPEOF=,+1 to position the tape at the beginning of the next
file. For example,
>FROM=FUTIL;TO=*T
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 297
298 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
>FROM=DUMPER;TO=*;SKIPEOF=,+1
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 405
406 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
>FROM=SPOOLER;TO=*;SKIPEOF=,+1
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 386
387 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
|
Use the FILE command to describe the tape drive on the
second system. The record size and structure
must be specified and must match how the tape was written.
>:FILE T;DEV=TAPE;REC=-80,16,F,ASCII
|
Copy the files from tape to disk. Use an asterisk to
backreference the FILE command describing the
tape drive. Use SKIPEOF=,+1 to position the tape at the
beginning of the next file. For example,
>FROM=*T TO=FUTIL;NEW
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 297
298 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
>FROM=*;TO=DUMPER;SKIPEOF=,+1
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 405
406 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS
>FROM=*;TO=SPOOLER;SKIPEOF=,+1
EOF FOUND IN FROMFILE AFTER RECORD 386
387 RECORDS PROCESSED * * * 0 ERRORS

If the files are of varying structure, or have user labels or
varying file codes, it is better to use the MPE STORE and
RESTORE commands to move files between systems.
