Network File Transfer
DSCOPY
The targetfile may also be a formal file designator
defined in a prior file equation. If the targetfile is
referenced by a formal designator, the targetfile must be
preceded by an asterisk.
A file equation can also redirect the targetfile to the
temporary domain by specifying the disposition
directive “;TEMP” in the file equation. The default
disposition for the targetfile is the permanent domain.
NOTE If a file equation is used, it cannot reference the “;DEL” option in the
disposition directive, or reference either the “;OLD”, “;OLDTEMP”, or
“;NEW” file domain options in the file equation. Use of these options will
result in an error.
A new HP 3000 target file is given a lockword if you
supply one in the targetfile parameter. For more
information on using lockwords, refer to the paragraph
on lockwords in the section called “Using DSCOPY”
later in this chapter.
If the source file uses special MPE/iX “wildcard”
characters to specify a generic file set, then the targetfile
parameter must be either omitted or included in the
following form:
@[.group[.account]]
Refer to “Multiple Transfer” later in this chapter for
details on using wildcard characters.
You can specify a KSAM file pair in the targetfile
parameter by enclosing the pair of names (separated by
a comma) in quotation marks.
Default: If the file name is omitted, the corresponding
sourcefile name and lockword is assumed. If group
and/or account names are omitted, corresponding
portions of the target node session are assumed. If the
specified target file name is the name of an already
existing file, DSCOPY asks you if you want to purge the
existing file. If you respond by typing N, DSCOPY
prompts you for an alternative target file name.
tfileloc A node specification for the target file, with the same
syntax and defaults as the sfileloc.
opt Any of the options described below can be used to
transfer files between HP 3000s on the same LAN.
