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.
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.
