You use the FCOPY utility to copy and translate files. The
FCOPY command identifies a from file, a
to file, and one or more FCOPY functions. Some of the
functions you may perform include:
converting data copying files from other systems appending files extracting subsets of files displaying binary files in ASCII format copying byte-stream files
A from file is the input file for an FCOPY command; it
contains the data you want to copy. A to file is the output
file to which you want to copy the data. They are the only two options that you
must specify.
To accommodate the introduction of POSIX in MPE/iX, the FCOPY utility
lets you copy files from HFS directories into accounts and groups and into
other HFS directories. Users with SM capabilities can use FCOPY to
copy files to MPE accounts outside of their logon account.
Keep in mind the following points when using FCOPY to work with HFS
files:
If the from file or to file name
begins with an asterisk (*), the file equation can resolve a filename
in HFS syntax that begins with a dot(.) or a slash (/). If you are copying files to an HFS directory, you must first use
the FILE command and specify the file name in HFS
syntax You cannot use FCOPY to copy directories. If the
from file or to file is a directory,
you will see an error message. You cannot copy compatability mode (CM) files to HFS
directories.
