FCOPY/3000 is the standard HP 3000 utility program that allows you to copy data from one file to another, creating a new KSAM file is desired, to copy selected data, to make multiple copies of the same file, or to display data in a variety of formats. With some exceptions, the same FCOPY functions used to copy other HP 3000 files can be used to copy KSAM files.

Table 2-4 “FCOPY Functions with KSAM Files” contains a summary of the FCOPY function parameters that apply to copying KSAM files. The function parameters: SKIPEOF,IGNERR, and SUBSET alone, are not included in this list since they are not applicable to KSAM files. Two functions are included that apply only to copying from KSAM files: these are KEY= and NOKSAM. Otherwise, this table includes all the standard FCOPY functions. Note that this summary is meant only to refresh your memory and that it assumes a knowledge of FCOPY. (For a complete description of FCOPY and its operation, refer to the FCOPY/ 3000 reference manual.)

RUNNING FCOPY

The FCOPY utility program is executed by the MPE command:

 

   :RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS 

Program FCOPY prompts for command input with a greater-than sign (>) in column 1 of the next line. You may then enter an FCOPY command in response to the prompt. If you are executing FCOPY in a batch job rather than in a session, you enter the command (omitting the prompt) in column 1 of the line following the :RUN FCOPY.PUB.SYS command.

EXITING FROM FCOPY

In order to terminate FCOPY and retum to the MPE Operating System, enter the following command:

 

   >EXIT or >E
